What is Driving Like in Stratford?

Stratford presents a variety of driving challenges that make it an excellent environment for building real-world skills. The area features:
Busy junctions: The intersection of Stratford High Street, Great Eastern Road and the A11 requires confident lane positioning and observation.
One-way systems: The Westfield gyratory and surrounding streets involve multi-lane one-way roads that require careful planning and early lane positioning.
Bus lanes: Several key routes through Stratford have bus lanes with specific permitted hours — understanding these is essential.
Heavy pedestrian activity: Particularly around Stratford Station and Westfield, pedestrian crossings and cyclists require continuous hazard awareness.
The Olympic Park approach: The wide roads around the London Stadium area provide good practice for dual-carriageway-style driving within a 30mph limit.
