This 10.3 km route runs for about 26 minutes and is notable for having zero roundabouts, relying entirely on junctions and 5 sets of traffic lights. It heads north-east from the test centre via Red Lodge Road and The Avenue, loops through Cumberland Road and May's Hill Road in Bromley, then returns via Wickham Way. All roads are 30 mph throughout.

Watch Out For

Goodhart Way has a tricky T-junction where visibility is limited by hedges. The give-way at Brabourne Rise has poor sightlines and requires creeping forward. Kingswood Road has a difficult right-left sequence at May's Hill Road junction. Durham Road has parked cars that force you into the opposite lane.

Route Features

A consistent 30 mph route with no roundabouts, making it ideal for practising junction work. West Way and Hayes Chase are quiet residential streets with good visibility. Durham Avenue has speed bumps that require gradual braking. The northern section through May's Hill Road runs along a ridge with nice visibility but narrow lanes. The return via Wickham Way is a smooth, wide road.

Key Tips

Practise the pull up on the left near Rose Walk where there is adequate space. With 9 left turns and 5 right turns, maintain consistent mirror checks. At Brabourne Rise, look right first as traffic approaches from that direction. On Pickhurst Lane, watch for pedestrians near the shops.
