Stratford is a historic, tourist-heavy city. You must navigate tight, heritage downtown streets, massive volumes of pedestrian tourists, and complex town squares.
The environment transitions from heavy tourist congestion in the core to agricultural traffic (tractors and slow-moving trucks) on the rural fringes of the test routes.
Expect a high-pressure pedestrian environment. Tourists frequently jaywalk or step out from behind parked cars near the river and the theater districts.
Failing to yield to pedestrians. This is the #1 failure in Stratford. Students miss pedestrians waiting at uncontrolled crosswalks or stepping out near the downtown core.
Getting boxed in on narrow streets. Turning onto a historic residential street and freezing when an oncoming car appears, failing to pull over and yield space.
Hesitation and confusion at the downtown Huron/Ontario/Erie multi-point intersection, leading to right-of-way violations.
Scan the sidewalks as aggressively as you scan the road. If a pedestrian's foot even touches the pavement near a crosswalk, you must come to a complete stop.
If you turn onto a narrow street with parked cars and face an oncoming vehicle, pull over to the right immediately and let them pass. Do not play a game of chicken.
Keep your speed incredibly slow in the downtown core. Driving 35 km/h in a congested 50 km/h zone here shows the examiner you are driving safely for the conditions.
Stratford examiners are highly protective of pedestrians. You will not be penalized for driving overly cautiously in the downtown tourist zones.
