A 13.5 km single-stage route from Geraldton Department of Transport, taking about 22 minutes. This is the only Geraldton route that reaches 110 km/h, with a stretch on Brand Highway south of town. The route heads south through Utakarra and Rangeway, covering speeds from 50 to 110 km/h across residential streets and open highway.

Watch Out For

  • Brand Highway (110 km/h). You must accelerate confidently to near the speed limit. Driving well below 110 in an open zone will be marked as impeding traffic.
  • Speed transitions. The route passes through 50, 60, 70, and 110 km/h zones. Watch for speed signs when transitioning between Willcock Drive and Durlacher Street.
  • Give way intersection near John Willcock Link. Check right for traffic before entering.
  • 7 roundabouts. More roundabouts than Route #264 but fewer than Route #267 (13). Signal on entry and signal left when exiting, per WA rules.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pullover near Rifle Range Road. Signal left, check mirrors, and stop close to the kerb.

Key Tips

  • On Brand Highway, build speed steadily after the speed limit sign. Do not hesitate to reach 110 km/h when safe.
  • The 70 km/h sections around Willcock Drive and Blencowe Road are easy zones to accidentally exceed or undershoot. Keep a steady pace.
  • With only 2 traffic signals, most intersections are roundabouts or give ways. Stay alert at unmarked T-junctions.
