Route 1875 covers 8.9 miles in about 32 minutes as a single stage, the longest route mapped at the Wednesbury test centre. It links Darlaston, Darlaston Green, Rough Hay, Loxdale, Moxley and Woods Bank, with limits from 20 mph up to 50 mph. Six roundabouts and 18 sets of traffic lights give it more junction work than the short town routes here.

Watch Out For

  • A give way junction where you need a real gap in through traffic before moving.
  • The drop from 50 mph back into 30 mph streets, where speed must come off before the sign.
  • Eighteen signal sets, several in quick succession, so lane choice matters as much as the light.

Route Features

  • Holyhead Road and Darlaston Road carry steady traffic with parked cars narrowing the running lane.
  • Walsall Road opens out into faster multi-lane driving.
  • Six roundabouts, all give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Only eight turns across 8.9 miles, so most of the marking is speed matching and lane discipline.
