Birmingham (Kingstanding) #557 Free
This Kingstanding route heads west through Aldridge Road and Booths Lane to Queslett Road, then south-west to Hamble Road and Mildenhall Road. The route passes through Cardington Avenue before looping south to College Road and Thornbridge Avenue, returning north via Beeches Road to Birdbrook Road.
Watch Out For
Nine roundabouts and 9 left turns make this the most left-turn-heavy route from Kingstanding. The Queslett Road roundabouts carry fast traffic. Malthouse Lane has restricted visibility at junctions. The 40 mph section is brief but the transition from residential 30 mph catches drivers out.
Route Features
14.1 km with 14 turns (9 left, 5 right), 9 roundabouts, and 9 traffic signals. Mainly 30 mph with a short 40 mph section. A western loop through Pheasey and Tower Hill with extensive residential driving.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left near the test centre on Birdbrook Road.
Key Tips
Nine left turns need accurate kerb positioning. At Queslett Road roundabouts, approach with caution as traffic moves quickly. On Mildenhall Road and Hamble Road, drive slowly for speed humps and parked vehicles. Check for cyclists when making left turns.
