Route 1877 covers 8.5 miles in about 29 minutes and reaches further south than most drives from this centre, taking in Hall End, Swan Village and Great Bridge. Limits are 20, 30 and 40 mph. There are 14 turns, five roundabouts and 13 sets of traffic lights, a heavier signal load than the other Swan Village routes at Wednesbury.

Watch Out For

  • A cycle lane beside the carriageway on the southern section.
  • A change to 40 mph where traffic accelerates away from the town streets.
  • Terraced streets around Greswold Street, where parking narrows the road to one moving line.

Route Features

  • Black Country New Road is the fast dual carriageway part of the drive.
  • Five roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Eight of the 14 turns are left, so nearside observation is in use constantly.
  • With 13 signal sets, read the lane markings rather than the vehicle in front.
