This 8.6 mile route runs for about 33 minutes in one stage and reaches further into the city than most, covering Maybush, Millbrook, Freemantle, The Polygon, Banister Park and Upper Shirley at 20 to 50 mph. Nineteen sets of traffic lights and only 2 roundabouts make it one of the more signal heavy drives from this centre.

Watch Out For

• A give way junction on the southern loop with limited visibility.
• Twelve turns, 7 of them right, several against oncoming city traffic.
• A cycle lane beside the same southern section.

Route Features

• Mountbatten Way carries the fast multi lane dock traffic.
• Bellemoor Road and Winchester Road run at 20 and 30 mph with parked cars narrowing the lanes and side roads joining often.
• The limit peaks at 50 mph on the linking dual carriageway.

Test Manoeuvres

• A pull up on the left is likely on the return towards Maybush.

Key Tips

• The limit drops to 20 mph in the residential sections, so read the signs rather than the traffic around you.
• At both roundabouts give way to the right and signal left on exit.
