Route 2133 covers 10.6 km in about 17 minutes as a single stage, linking Waiwhakaiho with Bell Block. Posted limits run 50, 60, 80 and 100 km/h, so suburban streets alternate with open running on State Highway 3. It is the only reviewed route at this VTNZ office, so there is no second route here for comparison.

Watch Out For

  • Two roundabouts, where you give way to traffic on your right and signal before the exit.
  • Ten turns, 6 left and 4 right, most of them in the Bell Block streets near Henwood Road.
  • The drop from 100 km/h to 50 km/h at the suburban entry.

Route Features

  • No traffic signals on the route, so every junction is a give way, roundabout or priority call.
  • Residential blocks around Parklands Avenue and Mangati Road, with driveways and parked cars.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Set your speed before each limit change rather than braking late.
  • Check both mirrors before each of the ten turns.
