Springwood Service NSW Driving Test Routes

The Springwood driving test is defined by its Blue Mountains geography, demanding precise vehicle control. Candidates navigate a mix of narrow, winding residential streets and the high-speed Great Western Highway (A32).

1. Typical Speed Limits: Varies sharply from 50km/h on local streets to 80km/h on the highway. Watch for 40km/h school zones near Hawkesbury Rd.
2. Traffic Conditions: Generally moderate, but the Highway merge requires aggressive acceleration and confident gap selection. Glare from the sun through trees can be a hazard.
3. Key Features: Steep gradients necessitate flawless hill starts (prevent rollback). Roundabouts on Springwood Ave and Raymond Rd are tight and require quick signaling.
4. Common Fail Items: Rolling back on hills, failing to perform a distinct head-check when merging onto the Highway, and cutting corners on narrow residential turns (poor road positioning).
