Safe to say if you want to get anywhere in Colchester just close your eyes and hope. Let's not mention the chaos that is the Ipswich Road area

(sorry). Every single Essex traffic news bulletin mentions that one. Look on the bright side, at least it's only two roundabouts into one - down our way, at Sadler's Farm it was five. In ten years' time, you'll be asking yourself what all the fuss was about .

I've never used Lexden Road to get where I have to get to in Colchester, even though it's an option, but Cymbeline Way is bad enough between 8 and 9am .
The 7.50am should be ok, if its running on time at Marks Tey. If you hit Lexden Road by 8am its usually pretty straight forward so they should get a good way down before hitting trouble. With experience they should figure out if its quicker to get off sooner in certain circumstances.
