Barnsley Driving Test Routes

Key Test Route Highlights

Complex Roundabouts and Lane Discipline

You’ll face multiple multi-exit roundabouts, especially at Summer Lane and West Way. These roundabouts often require taking the third exit or turning right, so lane positioning and mirror-signal-manoeuvre checks are essential. Practice identifying signage early to avoid late decisions.

Challenging Residential Navigation

Expect tricky turns and narrow streets in areas like Broom Close, Farm Road, and Mount Vernon Avenue. These routes test your ability to manoeuvre in tight spaces, safely meet oncoming vehicles, and confidently handle give-way situations at junctions with limited visibility.

Handling a Mix of Urban and Rural Roads

From city roads like Doncaster Road and Sheffield Road to quieter lanes such as Genn Lane and Hound Hill Lane, Barnsley routes offer a variety of road types. You’ll need to adjust speed, anticipate hazards, and handle transitions between busy and quiet areas smoothly.

Testing Traffic Light Awareness

There are several sets of traffic lights—especially on key roads like Park Road, Barnet Hill, and Racecommon Road. Be prepared for filter arrows, stop lines, and box junctions. Stay alert and avoid hesitation or creeping forward unnecessarily when waiting for a green signal.
