Birmingham (Kingstanding) #549 Free
This Kingstanding route heads north-east through Oscott School Lane and Dunedin Road to Kings Road, then east along Jockey Road to reach Oakwood Road and Antrobus Road in the Boldmere area. The route turns south through Jerry's Lane and Sheddington Road, returning via the residential streets west to the test centre.
Watch Out For
Eleven right turns with only 1 left turn is the most right-biased route from Kingstanding. Ten traffic signals demand alertness on approaches. Jockey Road is a busy 30 mph road with bus stops and frequent lane changes. The residential streets around Antrobus Road are narrow with parked cars on both sides.
Route Features
10.9 km with 12 turns (1 left, 11 right), 4 roundabouts, and 10 traffic signals. All 30 mph. A north-eastern loop through Kingstanding to Boldmere and back via Perry Common.
Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips
With 11 right turns, perfect your mirror-signal-position routine. On Jockey Road, maintain lane position carefully as it carries heavier traffic. The 4 roundabouts near Boldmere have good visibility but yield to the right as always. Jerry's Lane has parked cars creating narrow gaps.
