North Rocks #1724 Pro
This 10.3 km route takes about 19.5 minutes and runs as a single stage through North Rocks and Carlingford, with posted limits of 50 and 60 km/h. Against the other reviewed routes at this centre, it is the only one with no roundabouts and the only single-stage route, so the workload sits in its 10 sets of traffic signals and 15 turns.
Watch Out For
- Ten signalised intersections over 10.3 km, so lane choice comes up repeatedly.
- Six right turns to fit across oncoming traffic, plus nine left turns.
- One stop sign, where a full stop behind the line is required.
Route Features
- North Rocks Road near the start and Stratford Road to the west both feature, with Jenkins Road at the eastern end.
- 50 km/h streets alternate with 60 km/h sections.
Test Manoeuvres
- A kerbside stop: signal, check mirrors and blind spot, then finish parallel and close to the kerb.
Key Tips
- With 10 signals in 19.5 minutes, approach each set ready to stop.
- Right turns are six of the 15 turns here, and they carry the gap decisions.
