Granton is changing fast: the waterfront regeneration has brought new road layouts, cycle lanes, crossings and junctions, and learners here meet modern infrastructure alongside older streets. Waterfront Avenue and West Granton Road are good for steady-speed driving and for practising correct lane positioning.
Lower Granton Road and the harbour edge add narrower, slower driving, while Ferry Road and Crewe Toll are close for busier traffic and roundabouts. The mix keeps lessons varied without long drives to get anywhere interesting.
From Granton, Musselburgh is a straightforward coast-road run; Currie is also used.
Learners in Granton usually take their test at Currie and Musselburgh. Here is how they compare on DVSA's latest published figures:
