Birmingham (South Yardley) #1733 Pro
Route 1733 is an 11.28 km single-stage drive of about 29 minutes around Acocks Green and Coventry Road. It is one of only a few routes at this centre that climbs to a 40 mph limit, with the rest of the run set at 20 to 30 mph. It keeps just two roundabouts but adds five sets of traffic lights.
Watch Out For
- The step up to a 40 mph stretch where speed must be judged well.
- A school area with a reduced limit and children about.
- A give way that needs a clear look before pulling out.
Route Features
- Two roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- A longer run along Yardley Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left on a residential kerb.
Key Tips
- Build speed safely on the 40 mph section and ease off in time.
- Keep checking mirrors before every right turn.
