Warrington #780 Pro
One of the shorter Warrington routes at 11 km and 21 minutes, heading north through Orford, Fearnhead, and Padgate. Speeds reach 60 mph on Birchwood Park Avenue. With 8 roundabouts and 10 traffic lights, it offers a moderate challenge compared to the roundabout-heavy routes like 783.
Watch Out For
- Birchwood Park Avenue (60 mph). Dual carriageway where you must demonstrate confident higher-speed driving. Watch for merging traffic.
- Birchwood Way. Speed transitions as you move between roundabouts along this corridor.
- Locking Stumps Lane. Residential section with side roads. Maintain observation for emerging vehicles.
- Greenwood Crescent. Narrow residential roads near the test centre. Watch your road positioning with parked cars.
Route Features
- 8 left turns and 5 right turns
- 8 roundabouts
- 10 sets of traffic lights
- Speed range: 20-60 mph
- Passes through: Orford, Fearnhead, Padgate
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the test centre area.
Key Tips
- Shorter route means less time, but the 60 mph dual carriageway still tests your higher-speed skills.
- 8 roundabouts is the Warrington average. Use the approach routine: mirrors, signal, position, speed, look.
- On Lords Lane, watch for speed limit changes between 30 and 50 mph.
