A 16.13 km, two-stage route from the New Lynn VTNZ centre, taking about 37 minutes through Blockhouse Bay, New Windsor, Mt Roskill, Wesley, and Avondale. This is one of the longer routes from this office, similar to Route #194 (16.23 km) and Route #307 (17 km). Speed limits are mostly 50 km/h in residential streets, with a brief 100 km/h motorway section. With 13 stop signs and 9 school zones, this route is extremely obstacle-dense.

Key Tips

  • With 13 stop signs, consistent complete stops are critical. Rolling through any stop sign is an instant fail in NZ.
  • School zone speed changes require quick adaptation. Slow to 40 km/h when variable signs are active, then return to 50 km/h after the zone.
  • The motorway section at 100 km/h tests merging and lane keeping. Build speed smoothly on the on-ramp.
