Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping

It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Langley Avenue.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Langley Avenue and then turns right on to Woodlands Road.  Following the bend to the road at the end of Woodlands Road we can emerge right on to Corkran Road. This takes us back on to Langley Avenue. We can then follow the bend to the road and emerge left on to Ditton Road.  At the end of Ditton Road we can turn left on to Southborough Road and then turn left back on to Langley Avenue.  This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Crossroads

The crossroads of Claremont Road, Maple Road and Surbiton Crescent can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. This junction can also be used to provide instruction on the methods of turning right-to-right at a crossroads.

Roundabouts

The  Hook Roundabout 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 Victoria Road 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 this route.

Areas to do manoeuvres 

The  Reverse around the Corner exercise can be carried out where Langley Avenue meets either Southborough Road or Kirkleas Road. The parallel park can be done in Southborough Road. The Turn in the Road is also easily demonstrated on Kirkleas Road.
