Route 2040 covers 7.7 miles in about 29 minutes and stays at 30 mph the whole way, working through Smallthorne, Sneyd Green and Joiner's Square. It carries 22 sets of traffic lights, the highest count of any route at this test centre, plus 5 roundabouts and 8 give way junctions.

Watch Out For

  • Eight give way junctions sit close together on the eastern loop, several with views blocked by parked cars.
  • Six cycle lane sections run beside the traffic lanes, so check the nearside before every left turn.
  • Constant signal stops mean repeated moving off on gradients across the full 29 minutes.

Key Tips

  • With 11 turns and 22 signals, lane choice needs settling well before each junction.
  • Give way to the right at the roundabouts and signal left as you exit.
