One of only two single-stage routes from Heatherton, covering 12.8 km in 27 minutes through Bentleigh East, Oakleigh South, and Clarinda. Speed limits range from 50 to 80 km/h, with most of the route at 70 km/h. This route has the heaviest right-turn bias at Heatherton with 17 right turns versus 14 left turns, and an exceptionally high 38 give way intersections.

Watch Out For

  • School zone near Bourke Road. 40 km/h during school hours. Located on a busy stretch where speed changes frequently.
  • School zone near Springs Road. Second school zone in the Clarinda section. Watch for the 40 km/h signs as you approach from Viney Street.
  • Dingley Bypass (80 km/h). You need to reach near the speed limit. Driving too slowly on this dual carriageway section is marked negatively.
  • Old Dandenong Road speed transition. Speed drops to 50 km/h after turning. The slope can make it easy to exceed the limit if you are not watching your speedometer.
  • 38 give way intersections. More than any other Heatherton route. You must demonstrate consistent head checks at every one.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 38 give way signs, practice consistent scanning left-right-left at every intersection. Missing a head check is a common fail point.
