Getting to Taunton Test Centre
If you’re based near the town centre, your route to Taunton Test Centre will likely begin on Tangier Way. From there, head onto Bridge Street, continue to Station Road, then follow the A3038. You’ll then join the A358, take a turn onto the A3259, and finish on Venture Way. (It might sound like a lot, but it’s actually a quick and straightforward route.)
For those travelling from other parts of Somerset, main roads such as the A359, A38, and the M5 offer easy access. Until you’re familiar with the journey, we recommend using a sat nav to guide you there without any stress.

Instructors spot new road signs, layouts, or diversions early. Their knowledge helps you train on current conditions, not outdated ones. Combine their advice with RouteBuddy for the most realistic practice.
