Botany Service NSW Driving Test Routes

The Botany test centre is situated in an area with a mix of industrial zones, residential streets, and main roads, leading to diverse traffic scenarios. A key feature of the test routes is the inclusion of the heavily trafficked Botany Road and Foreshore Drive, where large trucks and commercial vehicles are common. Candidates must be extra vigilant with blind-spot checks and maintain a safe following distance from heavy vehicles. A notorious "trap" is a hidden stop sign near Jasmin Street, which is a frequent cause of failure due to its concealed location. Additionally, the area has numerous roundabouts, and some open stretches of road can tempt drivers to exceed the speed limit. Examiners pay close attention to how candidates interact with heavy vehicles, their judgment at industrial intersections, and their absolute compliance with stop signs.
