Midland #252 Pro
The longest of the three Midland PDA routes at 15.08 km, taking around 34 minutes across 2 stages. This route loops through 7 suburbs from Midland south to Hazelmere via Bushmead Road, west to Guildford via East Street, and back through Great Eastern Highway. Speeds range from 30 to 60 km/h, with roughly equal splits between 50 and 60 zones.
Watch Out For
- School zones near Bushmead Road and Chatham Road. Three 40 km/h school zones (7:30-9:00am and 2:30-4:00pm). These cluster in the Woodbridge section and are easy to miss if focused on navigating turns.
- Roundabouts around Cowie Close and Clayton Street. 6 roundabouts total. In WA, signal on entry (left indicator for left, right for right, no signal for straight) and always indicate left when exiting.
- Give way intersections on William Street. Two give way signs in quick succession near the pullover area. Check right thoroughly before proceeding.
- 17 left turns and 14 right turns. The highest left turn count of all Midland routes. Watch for cyclists and pedestrians in your left mirror before each turn.
Route Features
- 17 left turns, 14 right turns, 6 roundabouts, 6 sets of traffic lights.
- Covers the widest area of all Midland routes, passing through Midland, Woodbridge, Hazelmere, South Guildford, Guildford, Midvale, and Bellevue.
- 6 roundabouts and 6 sets of traffic signals.
- Major roads include Great Eastern Highway, Amherst Road, and Morrison Road.
- Mix of 50 km/h residential streets and 60 km/h main roads with frequent speed transitions.

Key Tips
- The 60 km/h sections on Great Eastern Highway make up the largest portion of this route. Build up to the limit promptly after turning onto it.
- In 30 km/h zones, keep a steady low speed. These short sections appear near Yelverton Drive and the centre departure area.
- Plan lane positions early before roundabouts. With 6 roundabouts and 17 left turns, lane discipline is constantly tested.
