A 12.8 km route from St Albans DVSA Test Centre completed in about 30 minutes, heading north through Marshalswick to Sandridge village via House Lane, then returning through residential streets. The speed range of 20-60 mph includes sections on House Lane and Sandridge High Street at higher limits. With only 15 turns (6 left, 9 right) and 1 roundabout, this route favours longer stretches between junctions compared to the turn-heavy Routes #765-768.

Watch Out For

• House Lane. A rural lane east of Sandridge with a higher speed limit. Bends are tighter than they appear, and oncoming traffic can appear suddenly. Reduce speed before corners.
• Sandridge High Street. The village centre has parked cars, pedestrians, and a pub with potential hazards. Drop to 20 mph through the narrowest section.
• Sandringham Crescent. Quiet cul-de-sac area with limited turning space. Watch for cars reversing out of driveways.
• Clarence Road. Connects to the town centre with traffic queues at peak times. Keep a safe following distance.

Key Tips

• On Sandridge Road heading north, the 30 mph limit applies until well past the built-up area. Do not accelerate early.
