This 15.4 km route heads west from Barnet test centre up Wood Street and The Avenue, then north along St Albans Road towards South Mimms. It joins the Barnet Bypass (A1) dual carriageway before exiting at Rowley Lane, returning through Rowley Green Road and Mays Lane. The fastest Barnet route with 50 mph and 60 mph sections on the A1.

Watch Out For

The A1 Barnet Bypass requires quick acceleration to match traffic flow at 50-60 mph. Merging onto and exiting the dual carriageway tests mirror-signal-manoeuvre discipline. Three school zones along Barnet Hill and Potters Lane drop to 20 mph. A bike lane on Mays Lane narrows the road.

Route Features

One roundabout at Wood Street junction, eleven traffic signals, and four 30 mph speed limit changes. The route covers everything from 20 mph school zones to 60 mph dual carriageway. Two pedestrian crossings at Mays Lane and Wood Street.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Great North Road.

Key Tips

Use the A1 slip road to build speed before merging. Check mirrors three times before changing lanes on the dual carriageway. Drop speed promptly when exiting back to 30 mph roads.
