Sunderland #2757 Pro
This is a 9.5 mile, 34 minute single-stage route covering Hylton Red House Estate, Hylton Castle Estate, Offerton, Hastings Hill and Grindon, with limits from 30 mph up to 70 mph. Only one other route from this centre is longer, and it has far fewer roundabouts than the longest option here.
Watch Out For
- The route includes 11 roundabouts: give way to traffic from the right and signal left on exit.
- The Hylton Grange Interchange and the Chester Road Interchange bring the 50 mph and 70 mph limits, so check your speed as you join.
Route Features
- 10 left turns and 7 right turns, 17 in total.
- 10 traffic lights.
- A pedestrian crossing near this crossing point, plus a stretch on the A19.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near Riverbank Road, then move off after checking mirrors and blind spot.
Key Tips
- Practise lane choice and exits on roundabouts before test day.
- Look for the 30 mph and 40 mph limit changes early.
