Sylvia Park #302 Pro
This 9.49 km Sylvia Park route takes about 19.8 minutes through the Mt Wellington industrial and commercial area. The entire route stays at 50 km/h, passing through Vestey Drive, Panama Road, and Carbine Road. With 7 traffic signals and only 2 roundabouts, it contrasts with Route 303 (4 roundabouts, 10 signals) and the much longer Route 304 (21 signals, up to 80 km/h). This is the shortest Sylvia Park route and a good starting point for practice.
Watch Out For
- Panama Road stop sign. Full stop required at this intersection. Industrial trucks may block your view, so edge forward carefully after stopping.
- Carbine Road stop sign. Second stop sign in the commercial area. Complete stop, check for heavy vehicles from both directions.
- Vestey Drive. Warehouse area with large vehicles turning in and out of driveways. Maintain a safe following distance.
- Sylvia Park Road. Busy commercial road near the shopping centre. Watch for pedestrians crossing and vehicles pulling out of car parks.

Key Tips
- The Mt Wellington area has heavy truck traffic, especially on weekdays. Give large vehicles extra space and avoid lingering in blind spots.
- The bike lane on Carbine Road requires you to check for cyclists before turning left. Always head-check.
- All 50 km/h means no speed transitions, but do not let the constant limit cause you to lose concentration on other tasks.
