Mount Druitt Service NSW Driving Test Routes Book Test

The Mount Druitt driving test is considered moderate in difficulty. The centre has 5 test routes averaging 14.54 km and about 25 minutes. Routes pass through a mix of residential streets, industrial areas, and the busy Great Western Highway. The area features multiple roundabouts on Hyatts Road and pedestrian-heavy zones near Mount Druitt Station. Overall traffic is lighter than inner Sydney centres, making it a reasonable choice for learners who want a suburban test environment.

Mount Druitt has 5 driving test routes covering roads including Hyatts Road, Railway Street, Francis Road, Great Western Highway (A44), Fuller Street, Beames Avenue, Carlisle Avenue, Jersey Road, Duke Street, and Rupertswood Road. Routes start from the Westfield Mt Druitt shopping centre and head through surrounding residential and light industrial areas before reaching the Great Western Highway. AUDrive provides all available test routes for this centre.

The most challenging sections include: (1) Great Western Highway, the busiest road on the route requiring safe lane changes and blind spot checks at higher speeds; (2) Hyatts Road with its multiple roundabouts and mixed residential-industrial traffic; (3) Railway Street and Francis Road near Mount Druitt Station where pedestrians are common and parked vehicles narrow the road; and (4) the final roundabout on Fuller Street/Beames Avenue which tests your give-way technique.

Common reasons for failing at Mount Druitt include: failing to check blind spots before lane changes on the Great Western Highway, incorrect roundabout signalling or give-way on Hyatts Road, not adjusting lane position around parked vehicles on Railway Street, missing pedestrians near Mount Druitt Station, and exceeding the speed limit in the shopping centre zone around Carlisle Avenue and Luxford Road where the limit drops to 40 km/h.

Book your Mount Druitt driving test for mid-morning on weekdays (9:30-11:00 AM) after the morning rush but before school traffic begins. Avoid 3:00-4:00 PM when schools finish and pedestrians increase around the station. Saturday mornings can work but the Westfield shopping centre generates heavy foot traffic. The Great Western Highway is significantly busier during peak hours, so off-peak times give you a calmer experience on this key test road.

Mount Druitt (3.3 stars on Google, 205 reviews) offers a suburban test environment that is generally quieter than inner Sydney centres like Parramatta or Marrickville. Its routes feature more residential streets and roundabouts compared to nearby Blacktown (which has busier commercial roads) and St Marys (which has similar suburban character). The Great Western Highway section adds challenge, but overall Mount Druitt is a solid option for learners who prefer less congested test conditions.

The Mount Druitt Service Centre is located inside Westfield Mt Druitt shopping centre at Shop 29-32, corner of Carlisle Avenue and Luxford Road, Mount Druitt NSW 2770 (Floor 1). It is a short walk from Mount Druitt Train Station. Parking is available in the Westfield car park with ample spaces. The centre opens at 9:00 AM on weekdays. As it is inside a busy shopping centre, arrive early to find the Service NSW office and complete check-in.

The Mount Druitt test routes include several speed zone changes: 40 km/h around the shopping centre and school zones, 50 km/h on residential streets like Jersey Road and Duke Street, and 60-70 km/h on the Great Western Highway. Pay close attention when transitioning from the highway back to residential streets, as failing to slow down promptly is a common error. Speed bumps may appear in residential areas, requiring you to reduce speed appropriately.
