Burgess Hill #1712 Pro
This 20.24 km route covers a single stage in around 33 minutes, looping south from the test centre through Hurstpierpoint, Newtimber, Pyecombe and Clayton. Limits range from 30 mph in the villages up to 70 mph on open roads, the widest speed span at this centre. With just two roundabouts and two sets of traffic lights, it has the fewest of both among the ten Burgess Hill routes, so the test rewards confident higher-speed rural driving over busy junction work.
Watch Out For
- Fast national-limit sections along Cuckfield Road where you must judge safe gaps before pulling out.
- Sharp limit changes where London Road returns to a 30 mph built-up stretch.
- Narrow country lanes near Malthouse Lane with limited passing room.
Route Features
- Seven right turns against just three lefts, so plan positioning early.
- Only two roundabouts, both giving way to the right.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect a pull up on the left back near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Signal left as you leave each roundabout once it is safe.
- Match your speed to each new limit sign rather than the flow of traffic.
