Penrith Service NSW Driving Test Routes
About Penrith Service Centre Driving Test Center
Located in Western Sydney, the Penrith test starts on the busy High Street, immediately placing candidates in a complex traffic environment. The area is a mix of the CBD's heavy traffic, multi-lane arterial roads (like Parker Street/The Northern Road), and quieter suburban streets. A key feature is the large, multi-lane roundabout on High Street, which can be intimidating and is a known accident-prone area. Routes often include navigating industrial areas and crossing the Nepean River. The test demands strong decision-making at complex intersections, confident lane changes at higher speeds (60-70 km/h zones), and precise manoeuvres in residential areas. Speed management is critical, with frequent changes between 50, 60, and 70 km/h zones.
