This 12.32 km drive lasts about 31.9 minutes over one stage, working through Yardley and Sheldon along Coventry Road and Hobs Moat Road, with limits between 20 and 30 mph. It is one of only three routes at this centre that includes a full stop sign, so a genuine halt is tested here.

Watch Out For

  • A stop sign where the car must come to a complete standstill before moving off.
  • Five roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
  • A school area with a reduced limit and children near the road.

Route Features

  • Five sets of traffic lights across the loop, with six left and four right turns.
  • Two cycle lanes to check before turning or pulling in.
  • Five give way junctions that keep the drive at a steady pace.

Test Manoeuvres

A pull up on the left is set near the test centre, so practise a smooth, safe stop at the kerb.

Key Tips

  • Treat the stop sign as an absolute halt, not a rolling give way.
  • Signal left as you pass the exit before the one you want on each roundabout.
