An 11.08 km route in two stages, taking about 25 minutes through Bunbury's residential streets east of the centre. This route has the fewest roundabouts of the 4 Bunbury routes at just 6, but 24 turns (10 left, 14 right). Maximum speed is 60 km/h. The route loops through Albert Road, Thomas Street, and the Herbert Road area before returning via Scott Street.

Watch Out For

  • 10 left and 14 right turns. Unlike Route #244 which is left-heavy or Route #247 which is left-dominant (8L/2R), this route has a right-turn bias. Stay centred in your lane for right turns at uncontrolled intersections.
  • Ocean Drive transition. Moving from the quieter Symmons Street area onto busier roads. Check mirrors and adjust speed for changing traffic conditions.
  • Higgins Street to Castle Street residential section. Narrow streets with parked cars on both sides. Maintain a safe buffer from parked vehicles and watch for pedestrians.

  • 10 left turns, 14 right turns, 6 roundabouts, 3 sets of traffic lights.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With only 3 traffic signals, most intersections are uncontrolled. Apply the give way rules consistently, especially at T-intersections.
  • The 24 turns in 11 km means frequent direction changes. Signal early and check mirrors before every turn.
