An 11.4 km route from St Albans DVSA Test Centre covering Marshalswick and Fleetville, completed in around 34 minutes. This route has 34 turns (18 left, 16 right), the highest turn count of all 11 St Albans routes, yet zero roundabouts. Speed stays within 20-30 mph throughout, making it a pure residential navigation challenge. Only 4 traffic signals means most junctions are unmarked, requiring sharp observation at every side road.

Watch Out For

  • Sandpit Lane junctions. Multiple unmarked turns along this road with limited forward visibility. Approach each junction ready to give way.
  • Marshal's Drive residential section. Narrow road with parked cars on both sides. You may need to stop and give way to oncoming traffic.
  • Marshalswick Lane. Frequent side-road junctions along this stretch. Check mirrors before each one as the examiner watches your observation closely.
  • Hatfield Road returning to centre. Busier than the residential sections with 30 mph traffic. Watch lane positioning when turning right off this road.

Route Features

  • 18 left turns and 16 right turns, 34 total. The most turns of any St Albans route.
  • Zero roundabouts. One of 5 routes from this centre with no roundabouts at all.
  • 4 sets of traffic lights. Most junctions are unmarked give-way or priority roads.
  • Speed range: 20-30 mph. Entirely within residential zones.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 34 turns in 11 km, direction changes come every 300 metres on average. Listen to the examiner's instructions carefully and respond promptly.
  • On narrow residential streets around Hazelmere Road and Sherwood Avenue, keep below 25 mph and watch for pedestrians stepping out between parked cars.
