The longest Kalgoorlie route at 15.9 km and 31 minutes across 3 stages. It covers the widest speed range (50 to 80 km/h) and is the only route from this centre that includes Goldfields Highway driving. With an equal split of 13 roundabouts and 13 traffic signals, you need to handle both intersection types confidently. The route extends south through South Kalgoorlie before looping back via Piccadilly.

Watch Out For

  • Goldfields Highway (80 km/h). You must reach close to the speed limit. Driving too slowly on an 80 km/h road can be marked as a hazard. The speed change to 80 km/h is clearly signed but easy to miss if you are focused on traffic.
  • Give way intersection on Hannan Street south end. Full observation required before proceeding.
  • 13 sets of traffic signals. More than four times the signals on Routes #248 and #250. Stay alert for amber light decisions, especially when approaching at speed.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pullover in the South Kalgoorlie section, near Balfour and Hopetoun Streets.

Key Tips

  • Practise the speed transition from 50 to 80 km/h and back. Accelerate promptly when entering the highway zone and begin slowing early when returning to 50 km/h streets.
  • This route has the most traffic signals of any Kalgoorlie route (13). At each set, check mirrors early and be ready to stop smoothly on amber.
  • School zones in WA operate 7:30-9:00 am and 2:30-4:00 pm at 40 km/h. Check for school zone signs along Hay Street and Lionel Street.
