Revesby Service NSW Driving Test Routes
About Revesby Service Centre Driving Test Center
The Revesby testing area offers a diverse suburban driving experience, combining relatively busy main roads like Marco Avenue and The River Road with a sprawling network of quiet residential streets. A key challenge is the frequent transition between different speed zones, including numerous school zones that require heightened awareness. The test routes often include navigating the industrial areas around Milperra Road, which can feature heavy vehicles and unique intersection layouts. Be prepared for a variety of roundabouts, from small, single-lane ones to larger, multi-lane configurations. Examiners at Revesby are known to be particularly strict on observation, so exaggerated and frequent head checks for blind spots, mirrors, and intersections are crucial for success.
Typical Speed Limits: Standard 50 km/h in residential zones, with main roads like The River Road and Milperra Road at 60 km/h or higher. The area is heavily populated with schools, so 40 km/h zones are very common.
Traffic Conditions: Moderate to heavy on main roads, especially during peak hours. The area around the train station on Marco Avenue can be congested. Residential streets are generally quiet.
Key Features: A mix of residential, commercial, and light industrial areas. Features include numerous roundabouts, traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings. Be aware of hidden or obscured signs (e.g., by trees), which requires proactive scanning.
Common Test Maneuvers: Reverse parallel parking and three-point turns are standard. The test will likely involve turning from quiet streets onto busy main roads, navigating roundabouts, and performing lane changes. Strong emphasis on head checks.
