Route Tips from Harold Hill
- The A127 Southend Arterial Road is commonly included. Build to the traffic speed on the slip road and merge decisively, hesitation here is marked as serious.
- Roneo Corner is the busiest junction on most routes. Decide your lane from the signs on the approach and hold it through the gyratory.
- The lighter traffic tempts learners to relax. Examiners still expect full effective observation at every junction, do not roll up to a give-way.
