General Tips
Burwood Service NSW Driving Test Routes Book Test
The Burwood test route is a comprehensive assessment of driving skills in a bustling, multicultural inner-west suburb. The test invariably includes the high-speed, multi-lane Parramatta Road (Hume Highway), where confident merging and lane changing are essential. This is contrasted with the narrow, often congested residential streets surrounding the town centre. Be prepared for high pedestrian activity, especially around Burwood Plaza and the train station. The area has numerous schools, so vigilance in school zones is paramount. A common challenge is navigating the busy and sometimes confusing intersections along Burwood Road. Examiners look for smooth car control, decisive action in heavy traffic, and consistent observation habits.
Typical Speed Limits: A mix of 40 km/h in school zones and near the town centre, 50 km/h in residential areas, and 60 km/h on major roads like Parramatta Road.
Traffic Conditions: Heavy on Parramatta Road and Burwood Road, particularly during peak hours. The area around the train station is a major congestion point with high pedestrian flow.
Key Features: The test features a major highway (Parramatta Rd), a busy commercial district, and quieter residential streets. Expect numerous sets of traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, and a high likelihood of encountering school zone conditions.
Common Test Maneuvers: Reverse parallel parking, three-point turns, lane changes on multi-lane roads, and merging with fast-moving traffic on Parramatta Road are key components. Navigating intersections with specific turning lanes is also common.
