Warrington #776 Pro
A 13.7 km route from Warrington DVSA Test Centre through Orford, Padgate, Fearnhead, and Woolston, taking about 26 minutes. Speeds range from 20 to 70 mph, with a stretch reaching 70 mph on Manchester Road. The route has 9 roundabouts and 11 traffic lights, plus a strong left-turn bias (11 left vs 5 right).
Watch Out For
- Manchester Road (70 mph). You need to build speed confidently. Driving too slowly on a national speed limit road is marked as a serious fault.
- Woolston Grange Avenue roundabouts. Multiple roundabouts in quick succession heading towards Woolston. Check mirrors and signal early for each exit.
- Speed limit change near Padgate. 50 mph signs along this section. Easy to miss if focused on upcoming roundabouts.
- Dam Lane junction. Transition from residential 30 mph to faster roads. Watch the speed signs carefully.
