North Ryde Service NSW Driving Test Routes

The North Ryde (Macquarie Park) area is a challenging mix of a major business district and residential zones. Key roads like Epping Road, Lane Cove Road, and Herring Road experience very heavy traffic, especially during peak hours, due to the proximity of Macquarie University and the business park. The test routes feature some of Sydney's most complex and busy intersections and roundabouts. Expect to navigate multi-lane roads with speed limits up to 80 km/h, requiring decisive and safe lane changes. The area is known for its confusing road layouts and frequent construction. The test focuses heavily on lane discipline, forward planning, and maintaining composure in high-pressure traffic situations. Candidates must be vigilant for buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, which are numerous in this area.
