Penrith #154 Pro
A 2-stage route from Penrith Service Centre covering 12 km in about 26 minutes through Penrith, South Penrith and Kingswood. With 14 roundabouts and only 8 traffic signals, it sits between Routes #64 (9 roundabouts) and #65 (17 roundabouts) in difficulty. It reaches 70 km/h near Parker Street and has an extreme right-turn bias of 13 left vs 20 right turns, the most unbalanced turning ratio of any Penrith route.
Watch Out For
