Richmond Service NSW Driving Test Routes

The Richmond test route offers a unique blend of town centre driving and semi-rural roads. The area generally has lighter traffic compared to metropolitan centres, but can be busy around the main streets like Windsor Street. A distinctive feature is the railway crossing, where candidates must demonstrate correct procedure. The routes include higher speed zones (up to 80 km/h) on roads like Londonderry Road and Castlereagh Road, testing the ability to handle the car at speed. It also features standard residential street manoeuvres. The roundabouts in Richmond are typically less complex than in other suburbs. The test assesses adaptability between different speed environments and awareness of unique hazards like level crossings and slow-moving agricultural vehicles.
