Practising Between Driving Lessons in Haymarket
There is no stand-in for the experience of one-to-one driving lessons with a professional instructor, but we have prepared a short information pack for pupils who are learning to drive in and around Haymarket and Dalry – with the aim of helping you to become more comfortable with the driving conditions and challenges you will face here.
Haymarket is one of the busiest parts of Edinburgh, and the recent introduction of trams on the roads is an additional reason for learners to take extra care here.
There are a number of locations in this area where you may need to take particular care to look out for pedestrians or cyclists – for instance near the very busy Haymarket Train Station, and Tynecastle High School in nearby Gorgie. Lothian Road is another street that can get extremely busy during (and outwith) peak hours.
Overall Haymarket itself is not a great place to practise your driving skills, at least not when you are just at the start of the process of learning to drive. However there are number of better locations as you travel a short distance further away from the centre of Edinburgh – your driving instructor will be able to point these out to you during your driving lessons.
Speed Restrictions in Haymarket
Haymarket has a variety of speed restrictions which are in effect on different roads, going from 20mph zones in many residential streets to the busy West Approach Road which increases from 30mph to 40mph after Fountainbridge.
Because of the increased speed and levels of traffic on the West Approach Road you should avoid this route until you are more familiar with the basic driving skills – your driving instructor will be able to advise you when you are at the required stage.
In an effort to improve road safety, there are a number of safety cameras in and around the Haymarket and Dalry area of Edinburgh – you should pay extra attention here, because cameras are usually installed in locations with a history of accidents or injuries.
