12 lessons on East Wall Road, Sheriff Street, and Alfie Byrne Road. Raheny Test Centre is 15 minutes away.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
First lessons use Church Road and the quieter residential streets off East Wall Road. The narrow width and on-street parking mean you learn precise positioning from the start before any port traffic enters the picture.

Alfie Byrne Road is introduced for direction work at a sensible speed. The coastal route is open with clear sightlines. Left turns onto the side roads and back onto the main carriageway build confidence in controlled junctions.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Sheriff Street is the focus here. New lane markings, filter arrows, and advance stop boxes require careful observation before you even reach a junction. The regenerated street feels familiar but the road geometry has changed for long-term locals.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
East Wall Road proper is introduced at this stage. HGV and container traffic heading to Dublin Port requires strong mirror awareness and distance management. You learn to stay clear of the blind zones on large vehicles moving through tight lanes.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Higher Speeds
North Strand Road brings the inner-city pressure. Bus lanes, cycle lanes, and heavy peak-hour traffic at a junction that has multiple light phases. We practise the sequence and teach you to read filter arrows before the light changes.

Evening lessons cover the 3Arena approach roads. On event nights, the area between East Wall and the Liffey fills up fast. Your final lessons build the composure to hold your route when traffic gets unpredictable around North Wall Quay.
Book nowDriving lessons in East Wall alongside Dublin Port traffic
East Wall Road runs from North Strand to Dublin Port and it carries everything. HGVs, container trucks, delivery vans, and regular commuters sharing narrow lanes. Learners here get used to large vehicle blind spots from day one, which makes everything else feel manageable.
Sheriff Street is regenerated but the new junctions are still catching people out. Traffic lights with filter arrows, advance stop boxes, and lanes that shift position at the last second. Your instructor will walk you through the sequencing.
Alfie Byrne Road opens things up. It is the coastal route towards Clontarf and Fairview with space to build speed and practise lane discipline. This road features on the Raheny test routes, so your lessons cover it thoroughly.
