At 10.03 km and around 25.4 minutes, this is one of the shorter drives at the South Yardley centre, looping through Acocks Green along Coventry Road, Warwick Road and Fox Hollies Road at 20 to 30 mph. It packs seven right turns into a compact single stage, more right than left work.

Watch Out For

  • Six sets of traffic lights, a busy tally for so short a route.
  • Three roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • A give way junction that needs an early speed check.

Route Features

  • Seven right and five left turns keep the steering active.
  • Residential 20 and 30 mph streets throughout with no faster sections.

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pull up on the left close to the test centre, held straight and parallel to the kerb.

Key Tips

  • With seven right turns, position early and check the offside before each one.
  • The six traffic lights come up quickly, so read the lights well ahead.
