Key Tips
- The 3 speed-10 zones catch many learners off guard. Drop to 10 km/h smoothly and be prepared for pedestrians stepping out from between vehicles.
- With 4 roundabouts, practise your roundabout entries and exits. At multi-lane roundabouts, choose the correct lane before entering.
- Rosedale business park has wide streets but many give way intersections. Do not assume the road is clear just because traffic is light.
