Bunbury #244 Pro
The longest of Bunbury's 4 PDA routes at 18.14 km, taking about 31 minutes across a single stage. This is also the only route reaching 80 km/h, with a brief stretch along Robertson Drive on the eastern side. The route covers a wide loop from the Brittain Road area through the coastal Upper Esplanade, then east via Koombana Drive. With 16 roundabouts and 11 traffic signals, it tests both roundabout technique and signal awareness.
Watch Out For
- 16 roundabouts across 18 km. WA rules require signalling on entry (left indicator for left, right for right, no signal for straight) and always indicating left when exiting. Stay in the correct lane early.
- Robertson Drive speed changes. Two 70 km/h signs mark the transition zone. Reach the posted limit promptly without overspeeding into the 80 km/h section.
- Ocean Drive to William Street section. Multiple speed zone changes between 50 and 60 km/h along the coastal stretch. Watch for signage carefully.
Route Features
- 7 left turns, 3 right turns, 16 roundabouts, 11 sets of traffic lights.
- 16 roundabouts, 11 traffic signals, 10 turns (7 left, 3 right)
- Speed zones: 50, 60, 70, and 80 km/h. Predominantly 60 km/h (152 segments)
- Key roads: Minninup Road, Tuart Street, Prince Philip Drive, Adam Road
Test Manoeuvres
- Pullover near the northern end of the route, close to Clifton Street.
Key Tips
- This is the only Bunbury route with an 80 km/h zone. Build speed smoothly on Robertson Drive and maintain the limit without hesitation.
- With only 7 left and 3 right turns but 16 roundabouts, most direction changes happen at roundabouts. Practise consistent entry and exit signalling.
