Birmingham (Shirley) #360 Free
A 10.5-mile route heading south through Dickens Heath to Hollywood, similar to Route #348. Takes Dog Kennel Lane and Lady Lane through rural countryside at 40 mph. 8 roundabouts but only 2 traffic lights. About 35 minutes.
Watch Out For
- Three school zones. All near Dickens Heath/Cheswick Green. 20 mph during school hours. Watch for flashing amber lights.
- Cleobury Lane. Narrow rural lane with blind corners. Stay well to the left and use dipped headlights if needed.
- Two give way junctions. Both on rural roads where approaching traffic may be fast. Look carefully.
- Tanworth Lane. Parked cars narrow the road significantly. Slow to 20 mph at the tightest sections.
Route Features
- 7 left turns, 13 right turns, 8 roundabouts, 2 sets of traffic lights.
- 30 mph residential, 40 mph on Fulford Hall Road, Lea Green Lane, and Cleobury Lane.
- Covers similar ground to #348 with slight variations on the return via Loxley Avenue.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near the test centre.
Key Tips
- On the 40 mph rural sections, drive to the speed limit when the road is clear. Hesitancy here costs marks.
- The return via Haslucks Green Road changes speed limits several times. Stay alert for signs.
