The only single-stage route from Carlton VicRoads, covering 6.5 km in about 17 minutes through Carlton and Carlton North. This route runs almost entirely in 40 km/h zones (with negligible 50 and 60 km/h sections), making speed discipline the central challenge. The perfectly balanced turn count (9 left, 9 right) is unique at this centre.

Watch Out For

  • Almost entirely 40 km/h. Unlike other Carlton routes that include 60 km/h sections, this route stays in residential 40 km/h zones. Resist the temptation to speed up on wider streets like Palmerston Street.
  • Stop signs on Drummond/Newry Street. 17 stop signs along the route. The residential grid requires a complete stop at each one.
  • Give way at Fenwick Street. Two give way junctions on this route. Give way to the right at uncontrolled intersections.
  • Cyclists on Drummond Street and Park Street. 6 bike lanes along this route. Check mirrors before every turn.

Route Features

  • 11 left turns, 9 right turns, 2 roundabouts, 11 sets of traffic lights.
  • Single-stage route, the only one from this centre. All other Carlton routes have two stages.
  • 11 traffic signals, above average for this centre.
  • 2 roundabouts, tied with Route #9 for the fewest.
  • Predominantly 40 km/h throughout. The simplest speed profile at this centre.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With almost no speed changes, focus on stop sign compliance and intersection awareness. The examiner has more attention for observation checks when speed management is simple.
  • The northern section via Pigdon Street and Park Street is similar to Route #9. If you have practised that route, this section will feel familiar.
  • At the roundabouts near Keppel Street, indicate before entering and left when exiting. With only 2 roundabouts, do not let unfamiliarity cause errors.
