Route 1808 covers 5.7 miles in about 28 minutes as a single stage, kept entirely within Mill Hill. It runs from the test centre through The Broadway and Deans Lane, then north to Marsh Lane and Highwood Hill before returning. Limits run from 20 to 50 mph, and no roundabouts are recorded on it, which is true of several routes from this centre. Five sets of lights and an even split of five left and five right turns shape the drive.

Watch Out For

• The faster section on Barnet Way, where the limit reaches 50 mph beside slower joining traffic.
• Bends on Highwood Hill with limited forward view.

Route Features

• Five signal junctions and ten turns over a compact loop.
• Shops along The Broadway where pedestrians step out between parked vehicles.

Test Manoeuvres

A pull up on the left is asked for near the test centre on a residential street.

Key Tips

• Reduce speed before the bends north of Marsh Lane rather than braking mid corner.
• Check mirrors before passing parked cars on the narrow sections such as Gibbs Green and Uphill Road.
