Bunbury #246 Pro
An 11.1 km, two-stage route taking about 23 minutes. This coastal route heads south along Upper Esplanade and Ocean Drive to the Mangles Street and Stanbury Crescent area, then returns through residential streets. With 7 roundabouts and 6 traffic signals, it sits in the middle of the Bunbury routes for intersection complexity. The 11 left and 7 right turns make it the most left-turn-heavy route proportionally.
Watch Out For
- Ocean Drive southbound. Coastal road with potential crosswinds. Maintain lane position and a steady 60 km/h. Watch for pedestrians near the foreshore.
- Stanbury Crescent area. The southern turning point of the route. Tight residential turns require careful speed control and observation at intersections.
- Constitution Street to Spencer Street. Transition from quieter southern streets to busier mid-town roads. Check mirrors frequently as traffic density increases.
