Key points
- The Blossomfield roundabout is being replaced with traffic signals.
- About 23,000 vehicles use it each day.
- A controlled crossing on Dingle Lane and cycle-priority lanes are included.
- It's beside Solihull College, Alderbrook and Tudor Grange — heavy student traffic.
The junction of the B4102 Blossomfield Road, Dingle Lane and Danford Lane carries around 23,000 vehicles a day, close to Solihull College's Blossomfield campus, Alderbrook School and Tudor Grange Academy. Solihull Council is replacing the roundabout with traffic signals, a controlled crossing on Dingle Lane and cycle-priority lanes. A temporary order for the works ran from 20 July to 18 September 2026.
What changes for learners
- Lights, not give-way. Your decision is now about the signals and the junction ahead being clear — not gaps from the right.
- Cycle lanes. Check for cyclists on your left before turning left, and don't stop in advanced stop boxes.
- Pedestrians. Students cross here in large numbers at the start and end of the day. Give way to people crossing the road you're turning into.
Why it matters for your test
Shirley test routes reach this side of Solihull. A junction that changed recently is exactly where people revert to old habits.
Checked October 2026 — roadworks and temporary limits change often; always obey the signs on the day.
