Frankston #112 Free
The shortest route from Frankston at just 7.2 km, completed in about 19 minutes as a single stage. It stays within the Seaford residential grid south of the test centre, with 4 roundabouts and only 1 traffic signal. Speed limits range from 50 to 80 km/h, and notably this is the only Frankston route with zero school zones.
Watch Out For
- Frankston-Dandenong Road (80 km/h). The route briefly joins this high-speed road. Accelerate to near the limit and merge safely.
- Hadley Street to Claude Street transition. Turning from a wider street into narrow residential roads. Adjust your speed and watch for parked cars.
- Madden/Abeckett/Hodges Street grid. Several narrow streets in quick succession with 10 give way intersections concentrated in this area.
- Single-stage format. No break during the test. One of only two single-stage routes at Frankston (with #179).
Route Features
- 15 left turns, 11 right turns, 4 roundabouts, 1 set of traffic lights.
- 4 roundabouts, including near Hartnett Drive. In VIC, signal on entry and signal left on exit.
- Only 1 traffic signal, far fewer than most Frankston routes.
- Speed zones: 50 km/h in residential streets, 60 km/h through the Claude Street area, 80 km/h on Frankston-Dandenong Road.
- Zero school zones. The only Frankston route without any school zone speed changes.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near Hartnett Drive, close to the test centre.
Key Tips
- Being short (7.2 km) does not make it easy. The compact layout means turns and intersections come quickly with little recovery time.
- The Bruce Street to Elliott Street to Hannah Street stretch is narrow with cars parked on both sides. Drop to 40-45 km/h.
- No school zones means one less thing to worry about, but do not let your guard down on the give way intersections.
