Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping
Sispara Gardens is a good location to become familiar with the controls of the car and practice moving off and stopping.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions
The ideal circuit for this would start on Melrose Road, then left on to West Hill Road. The student should take another left onto Viewfield Road and from here take the second left onto Seymour Road. Continue until the end of this road and then take another left onto Wimbledon Park Road which is shortly followed by a left on to West Hill Road again. After emerging here, the student can take the first right on to the slip road called Half West Hill Road which then becomes Wimbledon Park Road. Turn right at the end of the road which will then take you back onto Wimbledon Park Road. At the crossroads continue straight ahead over West Hill Road to the other side of Wimbledon Park Road and take the first right on to Seymour Road. At the end of Seymour Road, turn right onto Viewfield Road and then another right will take you back on to Melrose road. Steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques can be practiced here.

Crossroads
The crossroads which can be found on Gressenhall Road and Melrose Road are a good place to illustrate and learn about priorities and the higher level of observation that is required for safe negotiation of crossroads. There is an intersection where Kimber, Swaffield and Garratt Lane meet that is ideal for carrying out right-to-right turns at crossroads.

Roundabouts
Where Wimbledon Park Road and Granville Road meet is a suitable roundabout for demonstrate priorities and the appropriate signals to use when approaching and exiting a roundabout. Tibbets roundabout is suitable for getting to grips with large three lane roundabouts.

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals
Garratt Lane, Trinity Road and Merton Road are all crowded with different types of pedestrian crossings and signals. This route also allows planning issues to be addressed.

Areas to do maneuvers
For left reverse practice, try the corner of Wimbledon Park Road and Melrose Road. Parking can be practiced on Melrose Road as can the turn in the road maneuver.
