City West Perth #263 Pro
The longest route from City West Perth at 10.4 km and 25 minutes, split into two stages. With 17 left turns and only 9 right turns, this is the most left-turn-heavy route from this centre. It shares a similar westward path with Route #261 through Lake Monger Dr and Wembley, but adds more residential streets and a 30 km/h zone. The 4 roundabouts and 10 traffic signals match Route #261, but the extra distance means more time under observation.
Watch Out For
- School zone (40 km/h). Active 7:30-9:00 am and 2:30-4:00 pm on school days. Same location as Route #262. Failing to slow down here is an automatic fail.
- 30 km/h zone. Like Route #261, this route includes a 30 km/h area. The low limit catches out drivers who are on autopilot at 50 km/h.
- 4 roundabouts in the Wembley area. Signal on entry (WA requirement), signal left to exit. Some are closely spaced, leaving little time to reset between them.
Route Features
- 17 left turns, 9 right turns, 4 roundabouts, 10 sets of traffic lights.
- Speed range 30-60 km/h. No highway sections, unlike Route #262.
- Key roads: Cambridge St, Railway Parade, Lake Monger Dr, Ruslip St, Gregory St, Grantham St, Holyrood St.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pullover near Holyrood St in West Leederville.
Key Tips
- At 25 minutes, this is the longest test from City West Perth. Maintain concentration throughout. Fatigue-related errors tend to happen in the second stage.
- The high number of left turns means frequent mirror checks (left mirror before turning, centre mirror after). Build a consistent checking habit.
- Routes #261 and #263 share Lake Monger Dr and St Vincents Ave. Practising one helps with the other.
