What to Expect at Gloucester

  • With 8.5 roundabouts per route on average, Gloucester is more roundabout-intensive than most UK centres. Route 6 has the highest concentration with 14, including Merlin Drive.
  • Route 16 alone has 8 sets of traffic lights — the most of any route here. Confident, smooth stops and pull-aways are essential.
  • The 49% pass rate at Gloucester is broadly in line with the national average of 47.9% — this is a fair, well-rounded test where solid all-round preparation is rewarded.
  • There is a big spread in route complexity — Route 5 is the longest and most demanding at 37 steps, while Route 10 is the most manageable at 18. Practise both ends of the range.
  • Familiarise yourself with Bristol Rd, Merlin Drive and Falcon Close before your test — they come up repeatedly across the routes and knowing their junctions and speed limits will save you on the day.

Tricky Spots on the Gloucester Test

Junctions and road sections that appear frequently and catch learners out.

1
Merlin Drive / Bristol Road / A38 roundabout trio
Every test starts and ends with the Merlin Drive, Bristol Road and A38 roundabouts near the DTC. On the return you'll go through all three in sequence — Merlin Drive, then Bristol Road / Cole Avenue, then A38. Make sure you know your exit at each one before your test day, because getting it wrong on the home stretch is an easy fault to pick up.
2
Naas Lane / Telford Way / Waterwells Drive roundabout sequence
Naas Lane, Telford Way and Waterwells Drive form a three-roundabout sequence used on 12 routes. You'll go through them in quick succession near the business park — count your exits carefully and keep a steady approach speed between each one.
3
Tuffley Lane / Epney Road / Stroud Road residential roundabouts
Tuffley Lane comes up on 11 routes and leads to several roundabouts including Robert Raikes Avenue and Grange Road. These are smaller residential roundabouts with less obvious signage than the bypass examples — read the road markings on the approach and don't rely solely on the overhead signs.
4
Stroud Road / Finlay Road / Eastern Avenue roundabout complex
Stroud Road comes up on 14 routes and several routes — including 5, 17 and 18 — take you through the Tredworth Road / Finlay Road roundabout twice in quick succession. If you find yourself back at a roundabout you've already used, stay calm and count your exit the same way as the first time.
5
Quedgeley / Fieldcourt Drive rural roundabout area
Routes 3, 6 and 13 take you south to the Quedgeley and Fieldcourt Drive area, where a series of roundabouts link the A38 bypass to the village of Hardwicke. The Arkendale Drive / School Lane roundabout chain is less familiar territory for most people — take your time reading the signs rather than guessing.
