Birmingham (South Yardley) #1746 Free
This 12.56 km drive takes about 29.7 minutes across one stage at 20 to 30 mph, working along Warwick Road and Castle Lane. Unlike the shorter loops here, it carries no school zone or pedestrian crossing, so the focus stays on its six roundabouts and two marked cycle lanes.
Watch Out For
- Six roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- A cycle lane to check before changing position or turning.
- A give way junction that needs an early look both ways.
Route Features
- Five sets of traffic lights, with six left and four right turns.
- A second cycle lane and two give way junctions to plan for.
Test Manoeuvres
A pull up on the left sits near the test centre, brought in level with the kerb.
Key Tips
- Check mirrors and the nearside cycle lane before every left turn.
- On the six roundabouts, commit to your lane and signal left as you leave.
