Kalgoorlie PDA Driving Test Routes Book Test

Typical Speed Limits Kalgoorlie test routes range from 50 to 80 km/h. Most residential streets through Piccadilly, West Lamington, Lamington, and Hannans are 50 km/h. One route reaches 70 km/h near Gatacre Drive in South Kalgoorlie, and another reaches 80 km/h on Goldfields Highway. WA school zones are 40 km/h from 7:30-9:00 am and 2:30-4:00 pm, with signs along Hay Street and Lionel Street.
Traffic Conditions Kalgoorlie is a historic gold mining city in WA's Goldfields-Esperance region. Traffic is light to moderate on residential streets, with busier conditions on Hannan Street (the main commercial strip) and Goldfields Highway. Mining shift changes can create brief traffic surges. The wide grid-pattern streets common in Goldfields towns give good intersection visibility, but the open feel can encourage speeding in 50 km/h zones.
Key Features The four routes from this centre feature 12 to 15 roundabouts each, with traffic signals ranging from 3 to 13. Two routes stay entirely at 50 km/h through residential loops, while the other two venture into higher speed zones on Goldfields Highway (80 km/h) and near Gatacre Drive (70 km/h). Key roads include Maritana Street, Hannan Street, Forrest Street, Piccadilly Street, Johnston Street, and Hare Street. One route is notable for 32 turns in just 11.4 km, creating a direction change every 360 metres.
Common Test Manoeuvres Expect a pullover and resume, typically near Addis Street, Collins Street, Balfour Street, or Brookman Street depending on the route. The unique stop sign at Lionel/Boundary Street intersection appears on one route and requires a complete stop. WA roundabout signalling rules are heavily tested across all four routes. For the Goldfields Highway route, smooth speed transitions between 50 and 80 km/h are essential. Mirror checks are required before every turn and lane change.
