This 11.01 km Westgate VTNZ route takes about 22 minutes across 2 stages and is defined by its 8 roundabouts, the most of any Westgate route, but only 1 traffic signal. The route heads west from Sunnyvale Road through Red Hills and loops back via Don Buck Road at up to 80 km/h.

Watch Out For

Eight roundabouts in 11 km means one every 1.4 km on average. Give way to the right at each, signal on entry, and signal left when exiting. A school zone near Red Hills Road drops to 40 km/h during school hours. Three pedestrian crossings and 5 stop signs demand full stops.

Route Features

  • 10 left turns, 8 right turns, 8 roundabouts, 1 set of traffic lights.

Travels through the Sunnyvale and Red Hills suburbs along Red Hills Road and Triangle Road. A bike lane section requires awareness of cyclists. Speeds range from 50 to 80 km/h, with a substantial 80 km/h section on Don Buck Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull over safely. Navigate 8 roundabouts with correct signalling and give way. Come to complete stops at all 5 stop signs. Watch for the school zone variable speed limit.

Key Tips

With so many roundabouts and so few signals, practise roundabout technique thoroughly. On Don Buck Road at 80 km/h, maintain speed confidently. Check the variable speed sign at the school zone and slow to 40 km/h when flashing.
