Following a Numbered Road
Follow the mapped course of a numbered road through junctions and changes in the surrounding street labels.
From map instruction to checked route
Read the task, anchor the endpoints, remove prohibited movements, compare direct valid options and review the plotted result.
Core concepts
Concept 1
numbered-road continuity
Exam cue: Trace the road line between repeated number labels rather than jumping across the map.
Concept 2
junction tracking
Exam cue: Confirm that the number continues through each junction before treating two segments as the same route.
Concept 3
repeated labels
Concept 4
segment confirmation
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Assuming a road number follows the visually straightest line through a junction.
Guardrail: Do not rely on an old assessment count, atlas format or remembered London route when the current map and task supply the controlling evidence.
Stopping at a local street-name change without checking the road number.

Following a Numbered Road: avoid
Assuming a road number follows the visually straightest line through a junction. Also avoid stopping at a local street-name change without checking the road number.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
