Local Knowledge

The following slides (page 101 onwards) are graphic representations of some of the more difficult junctions and traffic systems in the local area. They are designed to give you clear information that is available on the road, but which may be difficult to process and remember when driving through the junction in real time

Not to scale, and signage may be positioned slightly differently on road, this is your learning resource to clarify lane markings and routes through when driving on lessons (or test!)

Some of these images can look very "busy" with all the coloured cars, but to avoid countless individual diagrams, the options have generally been split into 2 slides. The best technique is to follow 1 coloured car at a time through the junction in the chosen direction, and note the signage and road markings that will help you when you are on road

You can increase your understanding and gain better knowledge and experience by studying these layouts. How much you use them is your choice, but there is a huge potential to increase your knowledge, reduce faults on test and save lesson time and money

The next evolution of this section is to produce multi-view in-car videos, showing the car driving around the town and negotiating these junctions in the correct manner with a commentary. By producing these videos, we can offer you the ability to relate them to the slides of the junctions and emulate this information when tackling these junctions on your driving lessons or test. (The filming is not too difficult, but the post production is very time consuming, so please be patient ST 04/09/2020)
