Wiri #285 Pro
The longest route from Wiri VTNZ at 16.26 km, taking about 34 minutes. It loops south through Bolderwood Place and Mayo Road before heading northeast to Ronwood Avenue in Manukau. Speeds range from 50 to 100 km/h, with the majority at 60 km/h. This route has 24 traffic signals, making it the second most signal-heavy route from this centre after Route #324.
Watch Out For
- Roundabout near Ronwood Avenue. Give way to the right. Signal left when exiting. Traffic is busy here during peak hours.
- Speed change at McLaughlins Road/Vogler Drive. The limit drops from 60 to 50 km/h as you enter the industrial area. Easy to miss with 24 signals keeping you busy.
- Stop sign on Wiri Station Road. Come to a complete stop. This is the only stop sign on the route.
- 10 give way intersections. At each one, left turns give way to right turns under NZ rules. Check both directions carefully.
Route Features
- 12 left turns, 16 right turns, 1 roundabout, 24 sets of traffic lights.
- 24 traffic signals, 12 left turns, 16 right turns, 1 roundabout.
- Covers Wiri industrial area south to Athy Place, then north through Druces Road to Manukau centre.
- 3 bike lane sections. Watch for cyclists when turning left.
- 100 km/h section, likely on the motorway approach near Aerovista Place. Build up speed promptly but do not exceed the limit.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull over near Roscommon Road. Check mirrors, signal left, stop smoothly parallel to the kerb.
Key Tips
- With 24 signals across 16 km, expect a signal roughly every 700 m. Stay alert for amber lights and do not rush through.
- The southern loop around Langley Road has quieter streets but more give way signs. Slow down and scan at every intersection.
- Unlike the shorter Route #323 (6.93 km, max 60 km/h), this route demands confidence at higher speeds and over a longer duration.
