New Lynn #194 Pro
A 16.23 km, single-stage route from the New Lynn VTNZ centre, taking about 37 minutes through Blockhouse Bay, New Windsor, Mt Roskill, Wesley, and Avondale. This covers similar suburbs to Route #185 but extends further east into the Wesley area via Penney Avenue. With 14 stop signs, this route has the most stops of any New Lynn route. Speeds are mostly 50 km/h with a brief 100 km/h motorway section.
Watch Out For
- Blockhouse Bay Road stop signs. 14 stop signs total, the most of any route from this office. Each requires a full, complete stop.
- School zones near Whitney Street. 7 school zones at 40 km/h. Variable speed signs activate during school hours, so stay alert for sudden changes.
- Ellis Avenue and John Davis Road area. Narrow residential streets with give way intersections. Slow down and check for traffic from the right.
- Portage Road roundabout near the office. One of 3 roundabouts. In NZ, give way to the right and signal left when exiting.
Route Features
- 18 left turns, 15 right turns, 3 roundabouts, 14 sets of traffic lights.
- 3 roundabouts, 14 traffic signals, 33 turns (18 left, 15 right)
- Speed zones: 50 km/h residential, 40 km/h school zones, 100 km/h motorway
- Key roads: Portage Road, New Windsor Road, Subritzky Avenue, Graham Bell Avenue
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull over near the VTNZ office on Portage Road.
Key Tips
- 14 stop signs demand discipline. Even if the road looks empty, a complete stop is required at every Stop sign in New Zealand.
- Left turns dominate (11 left vs 9 right). At uncontrolled intersections, remember: left turns give way to right turns in NZ.
- The eastern section around Ellis Avenue has tight residential streets. Keep speed at 50 km/h and watch for parked cars narrowing the road.
