A single-stage route from Winchester DVSA Test Centre on Christchurch Road, covering 8.6 miles in about 28 minutes. The route passes through St Cross, Winnall, Kings Worthy, Headbourne Worthy, Abbotts Barton, and Hyde, with speed limits ranging from 20 mph in residential zones to 60 mph on the A31 Winchester Bypass.

Watch Out For

  • A31 Winchester Bypass. Dual carriageway section at 60 mph. You must build up speed promptly when joining. Driving 40 in a 60 zone may be marked as a serious fault.
  • 20 mph zones near St Cross. Multiple 20 mph zones near schools along Garnier Road. Easy to miss the speed change signs.
  • Stop sign near Romsey Road. One stop sign on the route. You must come to a complete stop, not just slow down.
  • Spitfire Link junction. Transition from high-speed bypass to urban roads. Reduce speed early and check mirrors.

  • 11 left turns, 5 right turns, 4 roundabouts, 6 sets of traffic lights.
  • 17 give way junctions, 1 stop sign, 3 pedestrian crossings
  • Speed changes frequently: 20 mph → 30 mph → 60 mph → 30 mph
  • Key roads: Christchurch Road, Garnier Road, A31 Winchester Bypass, Spitfire Link, London Road, Worthy Road, Andover Road, Romsey Road

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • The bypass section tests your confidence at higher speeds. Hesitating to reach 60 mph is a common serious fault.
  • Watch for frequent speed limit changes between 20, 30, and 60 mph. Missing a change is one of the top reasons for failing at Winchester.
