A short 5.2 km route entirely within 40 km/h zones, taking about 15 minutes across 2 stages. This is the shortest route from Bondi Junction and the only one where the speed limit never exceeds 40 km/h. Despite the low speed, the route is packed with 10 roundabouts and 14 traffic lights through Woollahra's residential streets.

Watch Out For

  • Grafton Street lane trap. The left lane at the traffic lights becomes left-turn-only. Stay in the right lane if going straight, or you'll be forced to turn left unexpectedly.
  • Edgecliff Road parked cars. Cars park in the left lane. You'll need to check mirrors and merge right to pass. Give at least 1 metre clearance to parked vehicles and watch for opening doors.
  • Cyclist lane markings on Grosvenor Street. Painted bike lanes and sharrow markings through Woollahra. You must give cyclists at least 1 metre clearance when passing. Check mirrors before drifting left.
  • Keep Clear markings on Newland Street. Never stop on Keep Clear zones, even in heavy traffic. Leave the intersection clear when traffic ahead is banked up.
  • School zone near Roslyndale Avenue. 40 km/h during school hours (8:00-9:30am and 2:30-4:00pm). Since the entire route is already 40 km/h, no speed change is needed, but watch for children and pedestrians.
  • Stop signs on Ebley Street. 6 stop signs on this route. Come to a complete stop and count 3 seconds before moving off. The examiner watches for a full stop, not a rolling one.

Route Features

  • 5 left turns, 4 right turns, 10 roundabouts, 14 sets of traffic lights.
  • 10 roundabouts and 14 sets of traffic lights in just 5.2 km. The highest density of intersections among all Bondi Junction routes.

  • 4 give way intersections and 3 pedestrian crossings.
  • Entire route at 40 km/h through Woollahra residential streets.
  • Grosvenor Street has a No Left Turn sign at certain times. Watch signage carefully before turning.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 10 roundabouts in 5 km, practise smooth entry and exit. Signal left when leaving each roundabout.
  • The 40 km/h limit applies everywhere. Maintain a steady speed and avoid creeping below 30 km/h, which could be marked as impeding traffic.
  • Watch for pedestrians at the 3 marked crossings near Ebley Street and Roslyndale Avenue.
  • When passing parked cars on Edgecliff Road, do a head check before merging right, then return to the left lane once clear.
