St Albans #766 Pro
A 12.8 km route from St Albans DVSA Test Centre taking about 36 minutes through Marshalswick, Fleetville, and The Camp. Like Routes #765, #767, and #768 from this centre, this route has zero roundabouts, staying entirely on residential streets. With 26 turns and 9 traffic signals, it balances unmarked junctions with signal-controlled crossings. Speed remains 20-30 mph throughout.
Watch Out For
- School zone near Victoria Street. 20 mph zone during school hours. Easy to miss the signs when focused on navigation.
- The Ridgeway. Long straight road where it is tempting to creep above 30 mph. The examiner will watch your speed discipline here.
- Marshal's Drive turning into Marshalswick Lane. Priority changes at this junction. Make sure you check for traffic from the right before proceeding.
- Give way junction near Camp Road. Visibility is limited by hedges. Creep forward slowly and check both directions.
Route Features
- 13 left turns and 13 right turns, evenly balanced.
- Zero roundabouts. All direction changes are at T-junctions or crossroads.
- 9 sets of traffic lights, more than double Route #765's count.
- Speed range: 20-30 mph. Residential throughout.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- The roundabout near Camp Road is marked on the map but the route does not enter it. Be aware of roundabout traffic when passing nearby.
- On Sherwood Avenue and Charmouth Road, parked cars narrow the road to single-track sections. Slow down and be ready to give way.
