About Marrickville Service Centre Driving Test Center
Marrickville is an inner-west test location known for its narrow residential streets, often lined with parked cars on both sides, making manoeuvres like three-point turns challenging. The area has high pedestrian and cyclist activity, particularly around King Street and Marrickville Road. Traffic is consistently moderate to heavy. A critical point is the stop sign at the exit of the Marrickville Metro shopping centre car park, which is a common failure spot. The routes feature numerous roundabouts, stop signs, and uncontrolled intersections. The test heavily assesses a driver's ability to navigate tight spaces, maintain safe following distances, and demonstrate superior hazard perception skills in a dense, unpredictable urban environment. Speed is mainly 50 km/h with frequent 40 km/h zones.
