Test Route Tips
- Most published routes leave on Dock Road and use the A1089 (St Andrew's Road, 40mph near the docks) and its roundabouts. Plan lanes early at the Dock Road and Asda roundabouts.
- Routes towards Chadwell St Mary use St Chad's Road, Chadwell Bypass (30 to 40mph) and Marshfoot Road. The Chadwell Bypass roundabout is often taken at the third exit.
- Grays routes use Palmers Avenue, Orsett Road, Hathaway Road and Bradleigh Avenue with a run of roundabouts, and some join the A13 at Stifford Clays or Orsett Cock.
