Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • This route extends further south into Elermore Vale. The roads here are hillier with some blind corners. Adjust speed accordingly.
  • The 70 km/h sections on Cardiff Road require smooth speed transitions from 50 km/h residential zones.
  • Unlike Route #208, this route does not reach 90 km/h, making it a good stepping stone between Routes #207 and #208.
