Experience Different Road Types

Luton Road Roundabout
Learners develop confidence choosing the correct lane, signalling correctly and exiting safely while dealing with continuous traffic.

These junctions introduce higher-speed traffic and improve decision-making when joining or crossing busy roads.
Brewers Hill Road Junctions
Residential junctions around Brewers Hill Road help improve observation, clutch control and safe emerging techniques before progressing to busier roads.
