This is the longest Kingstanding route at 22.3 km, extending west to Walsall Road and south to Aldridge Road in Hamstead. From the test centre, you head north via Old Oscott Lane and Kingstanding Road to Kings Road, then west through Queslett Road into Pheasey. The route heads south via Rocky Lane through Tower Hill to Hamstead, then east and north through a large residential loop before returning via Harringay Road.

Watch Out For

Twenty-five traffic signals and 10 roundabouts make this the most junction-intensive Kingstanding route. The 40 mph sections along Walsall Road are significant stretches where speed management is critical. Rocky Lane is hilly with limited visibility on bends. A 20 mph zone near schools requires strict speed control.

Route Features

22.3 km, 50 min with 19 turns (9 left, 10 right), 10 roundabouts, and 25 traffic signals. Speeds from 20 to 40 mph. The longest route covers Kingstanding, Pheasey, Tower Hill, and Hamstead in a wide western loop.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near the test centre on Birdbrook Road.

Key Tips

At 50 minutes this tests your stamina. Build to 40 mph confidently on Walsall Road. The 10 roundabouts vary in size, so approach each reading the road markings carefully. On Rocky Lane, use lower gears for the hill sections and maintain steady speed.
