Coventry #636 Free
At 13.2 miles and 38 minutes, this is the longest route from Coventry DVSA test centre. It loops south through Windmill Road, Hall Green Road in Bell Green, and Foleshill Road before heading north on Phoenix Way and the Bedworth Bypass to Griff and Bedworth town centre. Speed limits range from 30 to 70 mph. With 13 roundabouts, this route has nearly double the roundabout count of most other Coventry routes, and its 19 traffic signals make it one of the most signal-heavy tests available.
Watch Out For
- Jimmy Hill Way. Fast dual carriageway with multiple roundabouts in quick succession near the Three Spires Junction area.
- Bell Green Road. Busy junction with traffic signals; watch for vehicles turning across your path from side roads.
- Bedworth Bypass merge. Joining the 70 mph dual carriageway requires confident gap selection and acceleration.
- Marston Lane. Narrow residential road in Bedworth with parked cars on both sides creating pinch points.
- Rye Piece Ringway. Multi-lane ringway in Bedworth town centre with lane discipline critical for correct exits.
Route Features
- 13 roundabouts, the most of any Coventry route, including a complex cluster near Three Spires Junction
- 19 sets of traffic signals across the entire route
- Dual carriageway driving on Phoenix Way, Jimmy Hill Way, and the Bedworth Bypass
- Mix of suburban 30 mph streets in Bell Green and Foleshill with 50 mph A-roads
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near Bayton Road
Key Tips
- With 13 roundabouts, practise lane positioning and signalling thoroughly; the examiner will expect correct procedure at every one
- On Jimmy Hill Way, stay in the left lane unless overtaking, and be ready for roundabouts appearing at short intervals
- Through Bedworth town centre, follow one-way system signs carefully on Rye Piece Ringway and High Street
