Glen Innes #297 Pro
At 17.65 km and 41 minutes, this is the longest route from Glen Innes VTNZ, nearly twice the distance of Route #295. It is a two-stage route that covers a wide loop through Point England Road, Saint Heliers Bay Road, and Stewart Avenue near Panmure. With only 2 traffic signals but 34 give way intersections and 8 stop signs, this route relies heavily on uncontrolled junctions.
Watch Out For
- School zone near Panmure. One of 2 school zones, 40 km/h variable limit. Located on the southern section where you are already managing stop signs.
- Tangaroa Street area. Multiple stop signs in this southern stretch. 8 stop signs total on this route, the most of any Glen Innes route.
- Merton Road western section. Part of 11 roundabouts along the route. Traffic can be heavier here.
- College Road give way intersections. 34 give way signs across the full route. At uncontrolled intersections, left gives way to right.
Route Features
- 13 left turns, 15 right turns, 11 roundabouts, 2 sets of traffic lights.
- 28 turns (13 left, 15 right), 11 roundabouts, only 2 traffic signals.
- 34 give way intersections, 22 pedestrian crossings, 8 stop signs.
- Mostly 50 km/h with some 30 km/h sections. The longest Glen Innes route by far. Route #295 (10.15 km) covers more turns in less distance, while this route tests stamina and observation over a wide area.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull over in the central section of the route.
Key Tips
- With 34 give way and 8 stop signs, observation at uncontrolled junctions is the main challenge. Slow down, check right, then proceed.
- Only 2 traffic signals means most intersections rely on your judgement. Stay alert for the full 41 minutes.
- 22 pedestrian crossings require constant scanning. Watch for pedestrians waiting at the kerb.
