At 12.3 km, this is the shortest Widnes test route. It heads west from the centre on Ditchfield Road, north through Hough Green Road into Parklands, then east on Queensbury Way through Upton Rocks. The route turns northeast into Cronton village via Hall Lane and Smithy Lane, then loops back south on Chapel Lane and Prescot Road through Parklands to the centre.

Watch Out For

Three roundabouts along this compact route require quick lane decisions, especially the Queensbury Way roundabout where traffic merges from multiple directions. Seven right turns dominate the route, testing your positioning and gap judgement at junctions. Cronton village has narrow lanes with limited passing space.

Route Features

Entirely within 20-30 mph zones with some 40 mph sections on Queensbury Way. The shortest route at just over 12 km and 22 minutes. Cronton village roads like Hall Lane and Smithy Lane are quiet, tree-lined lanes with blind corners. Parklands and Hough Green are typical suburban estates with cul-de-sacs.

Key Tips

Use the MSM routine well in advance of each right turn, as seven right turns give the examiner plenty to assess. In Cronton, slow down for the narrow sections of Smithy Lane where oncoming vehicles may appear suddenly. On Chapel Lane, watch for horse riders as there are stables nearby. Maintain 30 mph confidently through the residential areas.
