Birmingham (Kingstanding) #554 Pro
This Kingstanding route extends far north-east to Streetly. From Dyas Road you head east through Kingstanding Road and Kings Road, then north-east along Jockey Road to Braemar Road and Somerville Road. The route reaches Monmouth Drive at the far eastern extent, then north to Chester Road North at 40 mph. The return loops west through Aldridge Road in Pheasey, passing Queslett Road East roundabout.
Watch Out For
Eleven roundabouts are the most on any Kingstanding route, requiring constant lane selection awareness. Jockey Road is busy with traffic flowing both ways and limited room for error. The 40 mph Chester Road North section has large roundabouts with multiple exit lanes.
Route Features
15.3 km with 10 turns (5 left, 5 right), 11 roundabouts, and 5 traffic signals. Speeds 30 and 40 mph. The widest-ranging route, covering Kingstanding, Boldmere, Streetly, and Pheasey.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left near the test centre on Birdbrook Road.
Key Tips
With 11 roundabouts, pre-select your lane reading the road markings ahead. On Queslett Road East roundabout, traffic from Chester Road moves fast. Somerville Road is residential and narrow. Accelerate to 40 mph decisively on the A-road sections.
