Route 1827 is one of the shorter routes at the St Albans test centre, 5.8 miles in about 25 minutes as a single stage through St Stephens, Chiswell Green, St Julians and Cottonmill. Limits are 20, 30, 60 and 70 mph with no 40 mph section. Its 7 sets of traffic lights are among the fewest here, but 13 turns and two roundabouts keep the junction work steady.

Watch Out For

  • Six give way junctions, including one near the southern boundary.
  • Two roundabouts. Give way to the right, then signal left on exit.
  • The step from 30 mph straight up to 60 mph as you leave the built up area.

Key Tips

  • Slow enough to stop at each of the six give way lines instead of rolling through.
  • With only 7 signal sets, most priority decisions fall to you at give way junctions.
