Most Banbury test routes work outward from the Dukes Meadow Drive roundabouts, taking in the Queensway and Ruscote Avenue roundabouts and the Grimsbury and Woodgreen streets. From there it is the Hennef Way (A422) dual carriageway, the Warwick Road mini-roundabouts, or the A4260 out towards Bodicote and Bloxham. Banbury Cross and the High Street one-way tend to turn up on the way back in.
