16 routes with 447 steps, 360 turns, 107 roundabouts & 2 lights to practise!
Most of the routes quickly bring you onto Alcester Road South and the A435, where traffic is busier. It’s a great place to practise merging confidently, maintaining safe lane positioning, and remaining calm when cars flow quickly around you.
The routes include a mix of mini and larger multi-exit roundabouts, especially near Highters Heath Lane and Maypole Road. Keep your observation sharp, check to the right every time, and don’t feel pressured it’s always better to pause and proceed safely than rush.
Hawkhurst Road, Henlow Road, Sladepool Farm Road, and Oakwood Road feature lots of end-of-road junctions. They are ideal for demonstrating good clutch control, precise steering, and regular mirror checks.
Several of the routes send you through Hollywood Lane, Shawhurst Lane and surrounding roads. Junctions will come up quickly, and parked vehicles can narrow the available space. Take your time, keep scanning ahead, and position yourself properly when meeting oncoming traffic.
