A 13.0 km route from Cheltenham DVSA Test Centre taking about 31 minutes. This route has the most traffic lights of any Cheltenham route at 19 and the most waypoints at 25, heading west through Cheltenham town centre and St Paul's, then north-west to Kingsditch and Swindon via Church Road. With 6 roundabouts concentrated around Swindon Road, it shares the western character of Route 804. The 19 traffic lights mean you will spend significant time managing signal-controlled junctions.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 19 traffic lights, approach every set ready to stop. On High Street in the town centre, lights can change quickly during busy periods.
  • The Quat Goose Lane and Dark Lane section is rural with narrow roads. Watch for horse riders and farm vehicles in addition to regular traffic.
  • Compared to Route 794 with 34 turns, this route has only 17 turns but nearly four times as many traffic lights. The challenge shifts from turning technique to signal awareness.
