Birmingham (South Yardley) #1747 Pro
This 10.82 km route runs about 26.6 minutes across one stage at 20 to 30 mph through Acocks Green, along Warwick Road, Fox Hollies Road and Shirley Road. It is the only route at this centre with no traffic lights at all, so every junction is judged by give way and roundabout rules rather than signals.
Watch Out For
- Six roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- A school area with a reduced limit and children near the road.
- Priority junctions with no lights, so read other traffic carefully.
Route Features
- Zero traffic lights and the fewest turns here, five left and three right.
- Steady 20 and 30 mph residential streets throughout.
Test Manoeuvres
A pull up on the left is set near the test centre, stopped level and parallel to the kerb.
Key Tips
- With no signals, your own judgement at give way lines decides each junction.
- Approach every roundabout ready to give way to traffic from the right.
