Your EDT in Sutton starts on Greenfield Road, builds to Sutton Cross
Twelve lessons covering Sutton's residential roads, Burrow Road, and the approaches to Raheny Test Centre.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
The residential streets off Greenfield Road are the starting point. Low traffic, parked cars, and regular side junctions give you the space to get comfortable with cockpit controls, steering accuracy, and moving off cleanly without pressure.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Greenfield Road itself handles lessons three and four. Speed ramps and a school zone keep speeds managed while you practise gear changes, signalling, and direction changes on a route your instructor knows will build good habits.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Burrow Road brings a very different environment. The narrow coastal stretch has walkers and cyclists sharing the carriageway. Oncoming traffic at pinch points means you practise give-way decisions and positioning in conditions that do not appear on wider roads.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Dublin Road between Sutton Cross and Bayside carries regular bus traffic and faster commuter flow. Lessons seven and eight use this road to build your comfort sharing lanes with buses, reading stops ahead, and maintaining space in moving traffic.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed Management
Sutton Cross is the focus. Four roads, filter arrows, and bus lane markings converge at one set of lights. You approach it from every direction across lessons nine and ten until the lane selection and signal timing become second nature before your Raheny test.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Night Conditions
Station Road and the DART level crossing on it adds a specific hazard to your final lessons. Correct stop positions, patience at the barriers, and low-light awareness on the Howth Road round out your EDT. The full Raheny test route is covered in lesson twelve.

Sutton Cross is where the Howth Road, Dublin Road, Greenfield Road, and Station Road all meet, and it is the defining challenge for every learner in this area. Filter arrows, bus lanes, and heavy peak-hour traffic make lane selection critical. Your instructor will drill you on this junction from every approach until it stops feeling difficult.
Pickups happen at Sutton DART Station, the car park at Sutton Cross, Burrow Beach, or near the Marine Hotel on the Howth Road. Choose whichever is easiest and your instructor will be there.
Greenfield Road and the residential streets off it are where your EDT starts. Speed ramps, parked cars, and quiet junctions give you the basics before you step up. Burrow Road adds a different challenge with its narrow coastal stretch and crosswinds off the sea.
