Salisbury #722 Free
An 11 km route from the Salisbury DVSA driving test centre, taking about 24 minutes. The route heads north through Castle Road to Phillips Lane near Stratford sub-Castle, then returns via Fisherton Street and the city centre. Speeds range from 20 to 60 mph. With 18 sets of traffic lights, this is the most signal-heavy route in the first batch of Salisbury routes, so expect frequent stop-start driving through town.
Watch Out For
- Blue Boar Row area. Narrow city centre streets with pedestrians stepping out. The 20 mph zone here requires careful speed control.
- Bike lanes on Castle Road. Check mirrors before changing lane or turning left. Cyclists are common on this stretch.
- Roundabouts near Fisherton Street. Two roundabouts in quick succession. Signal on entry and check exit carefully.
- Rampart Road. Narrow road with parked cars on both sides. Slow down and be ready to give way to oncoming traffic.
Route Features
- 10 left turns and 4 right turns, heavily left-biased.
- 4 roundabouts and 18 traffic signals.
- 9 give way junctions along the route.
- Speed limits: 20 mph residential zones, 30 mph through town, 40 mph on Castle Road, and brief 60 mph sections on A345.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near Manor Road.
Key Tips
- In the 20 mph zones around Milford Street, watch your speedometer carefully. It is easy to creep above 20.
- On Stratford Road, the limit changes from 30 to 60 mph. Build up speed progressively rather than hesitating.
