Nearly identical to Route #171, this 12.0 km two-stage route also heads west toward Nepean Highway through Seaford and Frankston. It holds the record for the most school zones at Frankston with 10, and shares the same 8 traffic signals and 70 km/h maximum speed. The key difference from #171 is the addition of Marion Street.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 10 school zones, this route is best practised during school hours to experience the actual 40 km/h changes. Outside school hours, the zones are inactive and you may miss them on test day.
  • This route is nearly a copy of #171. Master one and you have effectively practised both.
  • The Rosslyn Avenue to Benton Avenue residential loop is quiet but requires consistent give way checks.
