Route 1902 covers 11.0 miles in about 36.8 minutes as a single stage, setting off from Station Lane and working through Havering, Upminster Bridge and Elm Park at limits of 30 and 40 mph. At 36.8 minutes it takes longer to complete than any other route at this test centre.

Watch Out For

• Ten sets of traffic signals, so junction observation and smooth stopping come up again and again.
• Four roundabouts, where you give way to traffic from the right and signal left on the exit.
• Sixteen turns in total, seven of them right turns that cross oncoming traffic.

Route Features

Four separate 40 mph stretches, including the run near Warwick Lane, sit between longer 30 mph residential sections around Hacton Lane and The Broadway.

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pull up on the left, so choose a legal, safe kerb, secure the car, then check mirrors and blind spot before moving off.

Key Tips

Change speed promptly at each 30 to 40 mph transition, and take a lane position early for the seven right turns.
