General Tips
Broome PDA Driving Test Routes Book Test
Typical Speed Limits Broome test routes cover 40 to 70 km/h. Residential streets around Hamersley Street, Robinson Street, and Carnarvon Street are 50 km/h. Wider roads like Gubinge Road and Jigal Drive reach 70 km/h. A school zone near Cable Beach Road East drops to 40 km/h during school hours (7:30-9:00 am and 2:30-4:00 pm). Speed transitions between 50, 60, and 70 km/h zones are frequent across all routes.
Traffic Conditions Broome is a remote tropical town in WA's Kimberley region with generally light traffic. Peak tourist season (May to October) brings increased activity along Napier Terrace and the Cable Beach area. The town has zero traffic signals anywhere, making every intersection an active decision point. Wide roads and long straight sections can encourage speeding, so maintain discipline in 50 km/h zones.
Key Features The defining feature of Broome testing is that the entire town has no traffic signals at all. All intersections are controlled by roundabouts, give way signs, or stop signs. Routes feature between 12 and 21 roundabouts and up to 22 give way intersections. Stop signs at Robinson Street and Herbert Street require a complete stop. The four routes cover Hamersley Street, Guy Street, Sanderling Drive, Lorikeet Drive, and Cable Beach Road East, ranging from a compact 7.6 km loop to a 15.1 km extended circuit.
Common Test Manoeuvres Expect a pullover and resume near Robinson Street or Herbert Street. Roundabout technique dominates the test: in WA, signal your direction on entry (left for left, right for right) and always signal left when exiting. With no traffic signals in all of Broome, your ability to handle unsignalised intersections is tested relentlessly at every junction. Give way rule knowledge is critical at the numerous give way intersections.
