A compact 6.9 km, 18-minute single-stage route from City West Perth, packed with 17 sets of traffic lights. This is by far the most signal-heavy route from this centre. Compared to the other three routes (#261, #262, #263) that head west towards Wembley and Subiaco, this one loops through the inner city via North Perth, Leederville, and Northbridge. Speed limits stay between 40 and 60 km/h throughout.

Watch Out For

  • Bike lanes near Vincent Street. Two dedicated bike lanes along this section. Check mirrors before any lane change and give cyclists at least 1 metre clearance.
  • 17 traffic signals in 6.9 km. That is roughly one every 400 metres. Stay alert for amber lights. Do not accelerate through late yellows.
  • Give way intersection near Leederville. Slow to a crawl and give way to all traffic before proceeding.

Route Features

  • 7 left turns, 13 right turns, 1 roundabout, 17 sets of traffic lights.
  • 1 roundabout. Signal left on entry if turning left, signal right if turning right, and always signal left when exiting.
  • Key roads: Fitzgerald St, Charles St, Vincent St, Aberdeen St.

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pullover near Troode St at the start of the route.

Key Tips

  • With 17 signals, lane positioning matters. Get into the correct lane early, especially before right turns on multi-lane roads like Fitzgerald St.
  • Inner-city traffic can be heavy during peak hours. Keep at least a 3-second gap and anticipate sudden stops.
  • This is the shortest route from City West Perth. If you are nervous about longer drives, this is a good one to practise first.
