This 13.8 km route from the VTNZ Lower Hutt test centre takes about 31 minutes in a single stage and covers Hutt Central, Boulcott, Avalon, Naenae, Fairfield and Waterloo, with limits between 50 km/h and 70 km/h. It is currently the only reviewed route at this office, so one loop carries everything: 14 roundabouts, 2 sets of traffic lights, 8 right turns and 3 left turns.

Watch Out For

  • Fourteen roundabouts in 13.8 km. Give way to traffic already approaching from your right and signal your exit.
  • A stop sign where the car must stop completely behind the line.
  • Five 70 km/h sections and three drops back to 50 km/h, including the run toward Eastern Hutt Road.
  • One pedestrian crossing and one give way junction.

Route Features

Right turns outnumber left turns 8 to 3, so judging gaps across oncoming traffic around High Street is the main workload.

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pull over. Signal, park parallel to the kerb, then check blind spots before moving off.

Key Tips

Set your entry speed early at each roundabout and return to 50 km/h as soon as the sign appears.
