This single-stage route covers 17.86 km in about 33 minutes, linking Greasby, Frankby, West Kirby and Meols with limits from 20 to 50 mph. Despite being nearly 18 km it has just three sets of traffic lights, among the fewest at the Upton test centre, so priority is handled mostly by its six roundabouts and by the coastal roads at Meols.

Watch Out For

  • Seafront traffic and parked cars along Meols Parade.
  • Six roundabouts; give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • The 50 mph stretches where you build speed between villages.

Route Features

  • Only three sets of traffic lights across the whole drive.
  • Five left and six right turns, fairly balanced.
  • Town driving through West Kirby Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With few lights, keep roundabout observation and give-way judgement precise.
  • Ease speed for the run through Frankby Road and the village centres.
