A 2-stage route from Corrimal Service Centre covering 11.2 km in about 24 minutes through Corrimal, Fernhill, Fairy Meadow and Balgownie. Speeds range from 50 to 60 km/h. It has 6 roundabouts, 5 traffic signals, 3 school zones, 8 stop signs and 8 give way intersections.

Watch Out For

  • Corrimal Park Mall parking area — 10 km/h limit with high pedestrian activity; the test starts and ends here, so stay alert for shoppers and trolleys.
  • Balgownie Road — permanent 40 km/h zone (not just school hours) due to heavy pedestrian traffic; exceeding this speed is an automatic fail.
  • Collins Street stop sign — you must come to a complete 3-second stop; rolling through is an instant fail.
  • Frances Street give way — right turn requires waiting for a safe gap in both directions before proceeding.
  • Painted traffic islands throughout the route — driving over any painted island is an instant fail; treat them as solid barriers.
  • Zigzag road lines indicate approaching pedestrian crossings — slow down and be ready to stop for pedestrians.

Route Features

  • 11 left turns, 11 right turns, 6 roundabouts, 5 sets of traffic lights.
  • Meadow Street school zone — 40 km/h during school hours with flashing lights; check the time carefully.
  • Balgownie residential streets — narrow roads with cars parked on both sides near Iron Brook Creek; you may need to pull over and give way to oncoming traffic.
  • Hudson Avenue — steep slopes with vehicle rollback risk; use the handbrake technique when starting from the stop sign on the hill.
  • Speed humps on residential streets — slow to 20–25 km/h to cross smoothly without bouncing.
  • Princes Highway and Collins Street intersection — major traffic lights where you must distinguish between a right green arrow (protected turn) and a green circle (give way to oncoming).

Test Manoeuvres

  • Kerbside stop on Douglas Road — pull over smoothly within 30 cm of the kerb, apply the handbrake, and wait for the examiner's instruction.
  • Three-point turn on Ross Street — check mirrors and blind spots before each direction change; ensure you clear parked cars.
  • Reverse parallel park on Sherwood Drive — signal, check all mirrors, and park within one metre of the kerb with even spacing.

Key Tips

  • Practice the Corrimal Park Mall entry and exit beforehand — the parking layout can be confusing under test pressure.
  • On Balgownie Road, maintain a steady 40 km/h even when it feels slow — the permanent speed limit catches many learners off guard.
  • At every stop sign, count to three after stopping before moving — examiners watch for incomplete stops.
  • When navigating narrow streets, slow down early and scan ahead for oncoming vehicles to avoid last-second stops.
  • Keep both hands on the wheel over speed humps and maintain a consistent slow speed rather than braking hard at each one.
