This single-stage Bridgend route covers 8.6 miles in about 29 minutes, running through Heol Pen-y-Fai and out toward the Lâleston area, with limits from 20 up to 60 mph. At 8.6 miles it is one of the shorter drives from this test centre, but it still fits six roundabouts and 14 traffic signals into that distance, so junction work stays busy from start to finish.

Watch Out For

  • Six roundabouts, where you give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
  • Five give way junctions, including a roundabout on the western loop.
  • The school zone is one of two here, where the limit drops and children may cross.

Route Features

  • A higher-speed drive, with eight 50 mph markers and a 60 mph section.
  • Runs along Island Road past two marked cycle lanes.
  • Five right turns against three left turns across the loop.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Choose your lane early for the six roundabouts and read exit signs.
  • Ease off ahead of both school zones and check the footway for pedestrians.
