This 12.4 km route takes a northern loop from Barnet test centre through Potters Road, Woodville Road, and up to High Street in High Barnet. It continues north via Hadley Highstone to the rural lanes of Dancers Hill Road and St Albans Road (60 mph section), then returns through Sunset View. A turn-heavy route with nine left turns.

Watch Out For

Nine left turns require consistent mirror checks and positioning. The transition from Hadley Highstone into the 60 mph Dancers Hill Road stretch happens quickly. The school zone near Potters Lane drops to 20 mph. Five give way junctions near the test centre require careful observation at each one.

Route Features

Twelve traffic signals (the joint highest for Barnet), one roundabout, and a mix of narrow residential streets and open 60 mph rural roads. The route passes through Meadway and Bedford Avenue, typical suburban streets where parked cars narrow the road.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Great North Road.

Key Tips

With nine left turns, develop a rhythm: mirror, signal, position, turn. On Dancers Hill Road, accelerate to 60 mph where safe - hesitating holds up traffic. Watch for horse riders on the rural sections near Dancers Hill.
