Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping

It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like either Marlborough Road or Robinson Road.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Marlborough Road. Then if we turn left on to Norfolk Road and emerge left we are on to Robinson Road. Taking the first road left off Robinson Road we are on to Birdhurst Road.  Then if we take the first right we are on to Clive Road.  At the end of this road we can turn left which takes us on to Park Road.  Taking the second left leads us back on to Marlborough Road.  This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Meeting Traffic

Meeting traffic is a situation where two vehicles are trying to pass through a space where only one car can pass. In these situations it is often vital to read the body language of the other vehicle. This is especially so where there are cars on both sides of the road and no priority exists.  Cavendish Road is perfect to develop experience and understanding of this difficult topic.

Roundabouts

The roundabout where Merantun Way, Watermill Way and High Street come together; can be used to illustrate priorities, methods of positioning and the appropriate signals for a given exit.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals 

Driving down Colliers Wood High Street there are plenty of crossings which can be used to demonstrate the various different types of crossings and the rules applying to road markings. Planning issues can also be addressed on these routes.

Areas to do manoeuvres 

Reverse around a corner can be practiced at the corner of  Cavendish Road and Holmbury Court. Another nice corner to use is the corner of Park Road and Marlborough Road. The turn in the road exercise can be done down Wilton Road. Parallel parking can be done in Cavendish Road.
