Birmingham (Kings Heath) #569 Pro
This Kings Heath route heads south-east through Henlow Road and Highters Heath Lane to Alcester Road, then south via Hollywood Lane to Truemans Heath Lane. The route turns east through Peterbrook Road and Drawbridge Road into Major's Green, then north to Haslucks Green Road. The return heads north-west via School Road and Newborough Road back to the centre.
Watch Out For
The residential streets in Major's Green around Peterbrook Road and Drawbridge Road are narrow with frequent parked cars. Five roundabouts include the busy Haslucks Green Road junction. A 20 mph zone near Maypole Lane school. The 40 mph section is brief but needs quick acceleration.
Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips
On Hollywood Lane, watch for the speed transition from 30 to 40 mph. The narrow streets around Peterbrook Road require constant mirror checks when passing parked cars. At Haslucks Green Road roundabout, check for traffic from all directions.
