Birmingham (Kingstanding) #548 Pro
This Kingstanding route heads north through Oscott School Lane and Southgate Road to Dunedin Road, then north-west to Kings Road. You enter Romney Way in Pheasey and continue to Frampton Way and Doe Bank Lane in Streetly. The route includes a 40 mph section on Aldridge Road before returning south through residential streets back to Birdbrook Road.
Watch Out For
Five roundabouts with 14 turns (3 left, 11 right) make this extremely right-turn heavy. The 40 mph section on Aldridge Road is brief but requires prompt acceleration. Frampton Way and Bonnington Way in Pheasey have speed humps and parked cars. A 20 mph zone near schools requires strict compliance.
Route Features
11.6 km with 14 turns (3 left, 11 right), 5 roundabouts, and 5 traffic signals. Speeds from 20 to 40 mph. Covers Kingstanding, Pheasey, and the edge of Streetly.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left near the test centre on Birdbrook Road.
Key Tips
Eleven right turns demand excellent mirror discipline and road positioning. At the Pheasey roundabouts, give way to the right and signal your exit clearly. On Shady Lane, watch for vehicles emerging from side roads. Build to 40 mph promptly on Aldridge Road.
