A 9.8 km two-stage route from Bundoora VicRoads, taking about 21 minutes through Bundoora and Mill Park. Unlike most Bundoora routes which are roundabout-heavy, this one has only 2 roundabouts and relies more on give way junctions (5) and traffic signals (2). The strong right-turn bias (7 left, 16 right) requires frequent gap selection.

Watch Out For

• Plenty Road (80 km/h). Southbound section with fast traffic. Build speed quickly and maintain lane position. The exit to Enterprise Drive requires early lane positioning.
• 16 right turns. Second-highest right-turn count at this centre. Many are at uncontrolled intersections where you cross oncoming traffic. Judge gaps carefully.
• Childs Road (70 km/h). Speed transition from 50 km/h residential to 70 km/h. The sign comes up quickly after the intersection.
• Speed changes near the centre. Multiple 60 km/h zones around McKimmies Road area, transitioning to 50 km/h on residential streets.

Key Tips

• With only 2 roundabouts, this route tests intersection skills beyond roundabout signalling. Focus on give way rules and traffic signal awareness.
• The Statesman Crescent and Buckmaster Drive residential streets are 50 km/h with parked cars. Leave room for car doors.
• At the 2 signals, be ready to stop smoothly. After navigating give-way intersections all route, a traffic light can catch you off guard.
