The longest route from Joondalup Driver Assessment Centre at 25.7 km and 47 minutes, covering 5 suburbs: Joondalup, Edgewater, Heathridge, Connolly, and Currambine. This route features 15 roundabouts (most of any Joondalup route), reaches 100 km/h, and has an extreme left-turn bias of 18 left versus only 12 right turns. A demanding route that tests endurance, speed management, and roundabout technique.

Watch Out For

  • 15 roundabouts. The most of any Joondalup route. They are spread across the entire route. In WA, signal on entry (left for left, right for right), signal left when exiting. Consistency across all 15 is critical.
  • 100 km/h section. A brief stretch on a connecting road between suburbs. You must accelerate to near the limit. This speed is unusual for a driving test route.
  • 18 left turns, only 12 right turns. The most extreme left-turn bias at Joondalup. Despite fewer right turns, each one involves crossing oncoming traffic, so do not let your guard down.
  • Hodges Drive. A key road connecting suburbs. Watch for the speed limit changes along this stretch.
  • Wedgewood Drive/Emerald Way. Southern residential section at 50 km/h. Narrow streets.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • At 47 minutes, this is a marathon. Stay focused throughout. Fatigue can lead to mistakes on the later roundabouts.
  • The 100 km/h section is brief. Accelerate smoothly and brake early when the limit drops back.
  • With 15 roundabouts, your technique must be automatic. Practise the WA signal-on-entry rule until it is second nature.
  • This route covers more ground than any other Joondalup route. Be familiar with all 5 suburbs beforehand.
