EDT lessons built around Kilbarrack and Raheny routes
Grange Road school zones, the Howth Road junction, and the Raheny test loop. Every lesson covers real Kilbarrack roads.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
First lessons take place on the quieter estate roads off Grange Road. No bus traffic, no HGVs, just residential streets with parked cars and gentle junctions. Mirror checks, clutch control, and road positioning are established before the main roads.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes on Grange Road
Grange Road introduces the school zone, speed ramps, and estate junctions in quick succession. Lessons three and four cover left and right turns at the side streets, with your instructor focused on observation and signal timing at junctions where sightlines are blocked by parked cars.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning at the Howth Road Junction
The Kilbarrack Road and Howth Road junction is the most demanding in the area. Lessons five and six approach it from multiple directions, building your reading of the traffic flow, the signal phases, and where to position for each turn before committing.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing Road Space with Industrial Traffic
Baldoyle Industrial Estate generates HGV and van traffic on Grange Road and Kilbarrack Road in the mornings. Lessons seven and eight cover driving alongside large vehicles, anticipating their wide turns at junctions, and holding a safe following distance on a narrow road.
Test preparationL9-10: Howth Road Speed and Lane Discipline
By lesson nine you are driving the Howth Road (R105) corridor at speed. Bus lanes, faster traffic, and the merge from Kilbarrack Road all feature. Lane discipline, mirror checks at higher speed, and consistent following distance are what your instructor is watching for.

Raheny Test Centre is 6 minutes from Kilbarrack DART Station. Lessons eleven and twelve run the full test loop through the Raheny roads and back, once in daylight and once at dusk. Emma from Kilbarrack nailed her turnabout on Grange Road in the final session and passed first time.

Kilbarrack Road links Raheny to Baldoyle and it is deceptively busy. Delivery vans double-park outside the shopping centre, buses pull in and out of stops, and the right turn onto Howth Road needs quick gap judgment. Your instructor meets you at Kilbarrack DART Station or the shopping centre car park.
Grange Road is the other main artery. It runs parallel to the coast with a school zone near Grange Community College where 30 limits apply and children cross unpredictably. Speed ramps and estate junctions make it ideal for building control in the early lessons.
The Howth Road corridor is where your driving gets tested. Fast-moving traffic with bus lanes, and the Kilbarrack Road junction where three streams of traffic merge. By the time you sit your test, this junction is familiar ground.
Baldoyle Industrial Estate brings HGVs and vans onto the surrounding streets in the mornings. Sharing the road with large vehicles, reading their turning arcs, and holding your position is covered in the later EDT lessons.
