Route 1953 covers 12.2 km in about 19 minutes as a single stage through central Kempsey and West Kempsey. Posted limits are 10, 40 and 50 km/h, all low speed town driving. As the only reviewed route at Kempsey Service Centre, it carries the full mix: six roundabouts, seven sets of traffic signals, three stop signs and 16 turns.

Watch Out For

  • Three 40 km/h school zones, including one where the limit steps down from 50.
  • Eleven right turns against five lefts, so most gap judgement is across oncoming traffic.
  • Three stop signs, including this one, need a full stop behind the line.
  • A pedestrian crossing follows on the same eastern stretch.

Route Features

  • Six roundabouts: give way to the right, signal left on exit in NSW.
  • Seven signalised intersections inside 12.2 km.

Test Manoeuvres

  • A kerbside stop on the western side: signal, mirror and blind spot check, then park parallel to the kerb.

Key Tips

  • The 40 km/h school zone limit applies on gazetted school days, so check the signed times.
  • With 16 turns packed in, signal early every time.
