Singapore Driving Test Routes: Practise Your TP Practical Test
Singapore's practical driving test is run by the Traffic Police (the TP test) from the three driving centres — CDC, BBDC and SSDC — and combines a circuit segment with driving on the real public roads around the centre. The exact road route isn't published, so the smart prep is practising those surrounding roads plus the circuit stations. SteerClear builds scored practice routes around Singapore's test centres, free to download.
How the Singapore practical test works
After passing the Basic and Final Theory Tests (BTT/FTT), you sit the TP practical test. It has two parts: the circuit (controlled stations such as the S-course, crank course, vertical/parallel parking and the slope/incline start) and the road segment on public roads around your centre, where an examiner assesses your driving in real traffic.
Are the road routes published?
No. The Traffic Police don't publish the road portion's exact route, and it varies around each centre. So the reliable approach is to practise the real roads around CDC, BBDC or SSDC — the expressway entrances, filter lanes, signalised junctions and lane changes the test uses.
How to practise
SteerClear lets you pick your test centre and builds practice routes on the real roads around it, scoring each drive live for speed, signalling, lane discipline and observation — so the road segment feels familiar before test day. Pair it with circuit-station practice for the full test.
What's assessed
- Circuit stations: parking, S-course, crank, and the slope start without rolling back.
- Road driving: lane changes, filtering, expressway entry, and signalised junctions.
- Mirror–signal–manoeuvre discipline and timely observation throughout.
Tips to pass the TP test
- Drill the circuit stations until parking and the slope start are automatic.
- Practise the roads around your centre so the road segment holds no surprises.
- Signal early and check — late signals and missed blind-spot checks are common faults.
- Smooth control — jerky clutch/brake work and stalling cost marks.
Our mission: bring the cost of a licence down
The biggest line in the figures above is paid lessons — and how many you need depends on what happens between them. SteerClear exists to push the real cost down: structured practice on real test-centre routes between lessons, so every paid hour advances you instead of repeating last week. Getting a licence shouldn't be a financial burden.
FAQ
Are Singapore driving test routes published?
No. The Traffic Police don't publish the road portion's exact route and it varies around each centre. Practising the real roads around CDC, BBDC or SSDC, plus the circuit stations, is the reliable way to prepare for the TP practical test.
Can I practise the Singapore driving test for free?
Yes — download SteerClear free and practise routes around your test centre on the free tier. SteerClear builds practice routes from the real roads around CDC, BBDC and SSDC to complement your circuit practice.
What's the difference between BTT, FTT and the practical test?
BTT (Basic Theory Test) and FTT (Final Theory Test) are the written theory stages; the TP practical test is the on-road and circuit driving assessment. You must pass BTT and FTT before the practical.
How do I find the routes for my driving centre?
Search your centre (CDC, BBDC or SSDC) in SteerClear and it builds practice routes on the real roads around it, scored live for speed, signalling and observation so you can see where you'd lose marks.
