- Around half the routes use the A127 Southend Arterial Road, which runs at 40 to 70mph. Build up to the speed of the traffic before you join, and watch for the limit dropping as you come off.
- Hall Lane and Ardleigh Green Road run at 30 to 40mph. Keep to the limit, and look early for the junctions at each end.
