Roselands Service NSW Driving Test Routes
About Roselands Service Centre Driving Test Center
The Roselands driving test is known for its blend of complex, high-speed road networks and quiet, narrow residential streets. Centered around a major shopping hub, you must be prepared to navigate the multi-level car park correctly, paying special attention to the stop sign at the exit, which is a common failure point. The test will almost certainly feature the busy King Georges Road (A3), a multi-lane artery requiring confident and safe lane changes. Be particularly cautious of the numerous roundabouts on roads like Bonds Road and the varied speed limits that shift from 50 km/h in residential zones to higher speeds on main roads. A key challenge is maintaining situational awareness, performing frequent and obvious head checks, and managing speed effectively through diverse traffic conditions.
Typical Speed Limits: Primarily 50 km/h in residential areas, with main roads like King Georges Road potentially having higher limits (e.g., 60-70 km/h). School zones with 40 km/h limits are present and strictly enforced during school hours.
Traffic Conditions: Traffic can be heavy on King Georges Road and around the Roselands Shopping Centre, especially during peak hours. Residential streets are generally quieter, but can be narrow.
Key Features: Exiting a multi-level car park is a key feature. The area has a significant mix of major multi-lane roads, numerous roundabouts (especially on Bonds and Broad Arrow Roads), traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings. Proximity to schools makes encountering school zones highly probable.
Common Test Maneuvers: Reverse parallel parking, three-point turns, and hill starts are common. A major focus is on lane changing on busy roads, navigating roundabouts correctly, and demonstrating impeccable observation skills (head checks).
