The longest route from VTNZ Christchurch Jipcho Road at 25 km and 46 minutes across 3 stages. This route covers the widest area of any route from this centre, heading south through Hornby and Islington to Halswell Junction Road. Speeds range from 40 to 70 km/h, making it the only route here that reaches 70 km/h. With 7 roundabouts, 9 signals, and 39 turns, this is the most demanding route from this office.

Watch Out For

  • Halswell Junction Road (70 km/h). The fastest section on any route from this centre. You must reach close to the speed limit. Driving too slowly in a 70 zone can be marked as a fault.
  • 40 km/h zones. Speed drops to 40 km/h in some areas. Watch for variable speed signs and adjust promptly.
  • Stop sign. This is the only route from this centre with a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop, not just slow down. Check both directions before proceeding.
  • 7 roundabouts. Give way to traffic from your right. Signal on entry (left for left, right for right, no signal for straight), and always signal left when exiting.
  • Frequent speed changes. The route transitions between 40, 50, 60, and 70 km/h zones. Stay alert to speed signs throughout.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Budget your concentration. At 46 minutes, this route is 3 times longer than the shortest route (#278, 11 min). Fatigue can lead to mistakes in the final stage.
  • On Springs Road and Awatea Road, watch for residential side streets with give way situations.
  • The stop sign is unique to this route. Treat it seriously: full stop, look both ways, then proceed.
