Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping 

This subject could be covered very well down Parkside Gardens.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions 

WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Parkside Gardens emerges left on to Parkside Avenue, which then becomes Peek Crescent. At the end of Peek Crescent we turn left on to Marryat Road. Then instruct the learner to turn right on to Burghley Road. At the end of Burghley Road we emerge left on to Church Road and then turn left on to Somerset Road. Then we would instruct the learner to turn left on to Marryat Road and right on to Burghley Road. Then we can turn left on to Calonne Road and then left back on to Parkside Gardens. This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Crossroads

The intersection of Burghley Road and Marryat Road can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. The crossroads of Durnsford Road, Haydons Road, Plough Lane and Gap Road can be used to provide instruction on the methods of turning right-to-right at a crossroads.

Roundabouts

The roundabout by Belvedere Grove, Ridgeway, Wimbledon Hill Road and Wimbledon High Street is useful to illustrate priorities and the correct observation and planning required. For a big three lane roundabout try Tibbets roundabout.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals 

Driving down Wimbledon Hill Road into The Broadway you can 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 corner of Deepdale and Margin Drive can be used for reverse around a corner. Parallel parking and turn in the road can be carried out on Parkside Gardens.
