Butler #222 Pro
A single-stage route from Butler DVS Centre, covering 14.5 km in about 27 minutes through Butler, Ridgewood, and Alkimos. This route holds the record for the most roundabouts of any Butler route at 26, and reaches 100 km/h on a brief section. Only 3 traffic signals across the entire route. Turns are right-biased at 4 left, 11 right.
Watch Out For
- 21 roundabouts. The most of any Butler route and one of the highest counts in Australia. Roughly one every 560 metres. In WA, signal on entry, signal left when exiting. Consistency across all 26 is essential.
- 100 km/h section. A brief high-speed stretch. You must accelerate promptly. This is rare for a driving test route.
- 11 right turns, only 4 left. Right turns across oncoming traffic require careful gap selection.
- Connolly Drive (70 km/h). Main connecting road at higher speed.
- Lukin Drive area. Eastern section through Ridgewood. Watch for speed changes.
Route Features
- 4 left turns, 11 right turns, 21 roundabouts, 3 sets of traffic lights.
- 21 roundabouts. Highest of any Butler route.
- 3 sets of traffic signals.
- Speed range: 50-100 km/h.
- Main roads: Butler Boulevard, Connolly Drive, Lukin Drive.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near Butler Boulevard.
Key Tips
- 21 roundabouts is extreme. Your roundabout technique cannot falter even once. Practise until the WA signal-on-entry rule is completely automatic.
- The 100 km/h section is brief. Accelerate smoothly and brake early when the limit drops.
- The right-turn bias means you will cross oncoming traffic 11 times. Be patient at each one.
