This 14.0km route covers a wide loop through Broome with 14 roundabouts and a hefty 18 give way intersections. With zero traffic signals anywhere in Broome, every intersection requires you to apply priority rules independently. The route heads north on Jigal Dr to Gubinge Rd, swings west along Cable Beach Rd East, then returns through Guy St and Sandpiper Ave.

Watch Out For

The 18 give way intersections are the second-highest count across Broome routes (only Route #243 has more at 22). Speed changes are frequent with zones ranging from 40 to 70km/h. The transition from 70km/h on Gubinge Rd down to 50km/h residential streets requires smooth braking well before the sign.

Route Features

  • 7 left turns, 10 right turns, 14 roundabouts.
  • 14 roundabouts - signal left on entry, signal left when exiting (WA rule)
  • 18 give way intersections spread across the full route
  • Speed zones: 40, 50, 60, and 70km/h - the widest speed range of any Broome route
  • Mostly right turns (4L/7R) requiring careful mirror checks

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pullover near Frederick St. This route sits between Route #241 (7.6km, compact) and Route #243 (15.1km, longest) in both distance and difficulty. The mix of suburban and main road driving tests your adaptability.

Key Tips

  • Adjust speed progressively as zones change - do not brake suddenly at signs
  • On Cable Beach Rd East, maintain 70km/h confidently without creeping under the limit
  • With no traffic lights in Broome, roundabout approach speed and lane position are everything
