A compact 6.9 km route from Castle Hill Service NSW Centre across 2 stages, taking just 14 minutes. With 13 roundabouts and only 5 turns, this route is all about roundabout technique. It heads north through Aruma Avenue to Kellyville before returning via Wrights Road. Speed limits reach 70 km/h on Windsor Road.

Watch Out For

  • Roundabouts on Victoria Avenue and Salisbury Road. Multiple roundabouts in close succession. Give way to vehicles on your right at each one. The Victoria Avenue/Showground Road intersection is particularly busy and has a combined red light and speed camera.
  • Merging from Windsor Road to Showground Road. Do not cross solid white lines early when merging. This is an instant-fail error. Wait until the line becomes dashed before changing lanes.
  • Windsor Road (70 km/h). Must reach near the speed limit. Driving well below 70 can be marked as creating a hazard.
  • Green Road roundabouts. Residential roundabouts where visibility may be limited by parked cars or hedges.
  • Service NSW parking area (10 km/h). The test begins and ends in the car park. Strict 10 km/h limit with high pedestrian traffic. Be extremely cautious as pedestrians may enter from any direction.
  • School zones. 40 km/h during school hours. Pay close attention when transitioning from higher speed zones.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • 13 roundabouts require consistent technique. In NSW, signal left when exiting. Give way to traffic already in the roundabout and to your right.
  • Constant observation of speed limits, road signs, and blind spots is vital. Shoulder checks before every lane change and turn.
  • Ensure you are in the correct lane well before turning at major intersections. Don't leave lane changes to the last moment.
  • The 70 km/h section on Windsor Road requires confident acceleration from the residential 50 km/h zones.
