Kalgoorlie #251 Free
A 14.3 km, 27-minute route completed in a single stage, the only one-stage route from Kalgoorlie. It has 15 roundabouts but just 14 turns (5 left, 9 right), meaning long straight sections between intersections. The route reaches 70 km/h as it extends south through South Kalgoorlie, Somerville, and Broadwood, covering the widest geographic area of the four Kalgoorlie routes.
Watch Out For
- Stop sign near Lionel/Boundary Street intersection. This is the only stop sign across all four Kalgoorlie routes. You must come to a complete stop, not just slow down.
- Give way intersection near O'Connor Street in Broadwood. A second give way is located on Throssell Street.
- Speed change to 70 km/h near Gatacre Drive. The southern section increases from 50 to 70 km/h. Accelerate promptly and maintain speed.
- Johnston Street southbound stretch. Long straight road heading into Somerville. Stay close to 50 km/h and resist the temptation to speed up on the open road.
Route Features
- 5 left turns, 9 right turns, 15 roundabouts, 4 sets of traffic lights.
- Only 5 left and 9 right turns (14 total), the fewest of any Kalgoorlie route. Long stretches of straight driving between roundabouts.
- 15 roundabouts, 4 sets of traffic signals, 1 stop sign, 2 give way intersections.
- Speed limits: mostly 50 km/h, with a 70 km/h section in the south near Gatacre Drive.
- Key roads: Hannan Street, Lionel Street, Johnston Street, Gatacre Drive, Maxwell Street, and Davidson Street.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pullover near the start/end of the route, close to Brookman Street.
Key Tips
- The single-stage format means no rest breaks. With 15 roundabouts spread over 14.3 km, stay in a rhythm of scanning, signalling, and exiting cleanly.
- Unlike Route #250 which has 15 roundabouts plus 32 turns, this route tests sustained concentration over long straight sections. Do not let your attention drift between intersections.
- WA school zones are 40 km/h from 7:30-9:00 am and 2:30-4:00 pm. Watch for signs along Johnston Street and the Somerville area.
