A 9.4 km, 18-minute single-stage route from City West Perth that reaches 100 km/h, the only route from this centre with highway-speed driving. While the other three routes stay at 60 km/h or below, this one takes you through Harborne St in Wembley where the speed limit jumps to 80 and then 100 km/h. Despite the high speed, the route has the fewest turns of any City West Perth route: just 7 left and 5 right, with only 7 traffic signals and 2 roundabouts.

Watch Out For

• School zone (40 km/h). Active 7:30-9:00 am and 2:30-4:00 pm on school days. If your test falls in these times, you must drop to 40 km/h. Missing this is an automatic fail.
• 100 km/h speed section. You must accelerate to near the posted limit. Driving 70 in a 100 zone is marked as failing to keep up with traffic flow. Merge smoothly and check mirrors before lane changes.
• Speed transitions from 40 to 100 km/h. This route has the widest speed range of any route from this centre (40-100 km/h). Adjust smoothly at each change. Do not brake suddenly when entering a lower zone.

Key Tips

• Practise highway merging before attempting this route. The jump from 60 to 100 km/h requires confident acceleration.
• The school zone sits between two higher-speed sections. If testing during school hours, plan your braking point early.
• With only 12 total turns, the examiner will focus heavily on speed management, lane discipline, and mirror checks during higher-speed sections.
