The longest Geraldton route at 16.8 km, taking about 26 minutes across 2 stages. This route has the most roundabouts of any route at this centre, with 13 in total. It stays within 50-60 km/h zones but covers the widest area, looping east to Utakarra via Blencowe Road and Eastward Road before returning through NW Coastal Highway and Bayly Street.

Watch Out For

  • 13 roundabouts. More than triple Route #264 and nearly double Route #265. In WA, signal on entry: left indicator for left, right for right, no signal for straight. Always signal left when exiting. Expect roundabouts every 1-2 minutes.
  • School zone near Eastward Road. 40 km/h during school hours (7:30-9:00am and 2:30-4:00pm in WA). This is in the eastern section of the route, easy to miss on unfamiliar roads.
  • Roundabout near Eastward Road. Located near the school zone. Manage your speed for both the roundabout approach and the 40 km/h zone.
  • 3 give way intersections. Spread across the route. Check right for traffic and come to a complete stop if needed.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pullover near Gummer Avenue area. Check mirrors, signal left, pull in close to the kerb, and apply the handbrake.

Key Tips

  • With 13 roundabouts, this route is a roundabout endurance test. Develop a rhythm: slow down, check right, signal, enter, signal left on exit. Repeat.
  • The school zone near Eastward Road in the east is in an area you may not have practised. Drive this section before test day.
  • Although no highway driving, the long distance (16.8 km vs the 9.7 km average) means more sustained concentration. Stay focused in the final third.
  • Compared to Route #264 (shortest, residential) and Route #265 (highway speed), this route tests consistent low-speed roundabout technique over distance.
