Sylvia Park #303 Pro
This 10.97 km Sylvia Park route takes about 23.7 minutes through the Mt Wellington commercial district, covering Mount Wellington Highway, Sylvia Park Road, and Carbine Road. With 4 roundabouts and 10 traffic signals at a constant 50 km/h, it has the most roundabouts of any Sylvia Park route. It sits between the shorter Route 302 (9.5 km, 2 roundabouts) and the much longer Route 304 (17.4 km, 21 signals, 80 km/h highway).
Watch Out For
- Mount Wellington Highway signals. Multiple signalised intersections in sequence. Watch for red-light cameras and prepare to stop on amber rather than rushing through.
- Panama Road. Industrial zone with stop signs and heavy vehicles entering from side streets. Stop fully and check carefully.
- Ryburn Road. Residential street that connects back to the commercial area. Speed limit stays at 50 km/h but the road narrows with parked cars.
- Carbine Road. Bike lane present. Head-check before any left turn to ensure no cyclist is alongside.
Route Features
- 10 left turns, 10 right turns, 4 roundabouts, 10 sets of traffic lights.
- Distance: 10.97 km | Duration: 23.7 min | 2 stages
- Turns: 5 left, 7 right | 4 roundabouts | 10 traffic signals
- Speed zones: 50 km/h throughout
- Waypoints: 9 total including 4 give ways, 2 stop signs, and 1 bike lane
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull over near Carbine Road. Mirror check, signal left, pull over to the kerb smoothly, and secure the vehicle.
Key Tips
- With 10 signals and 4 roundabouts, this route tests both signal awareness and roundabout skills. Practise transitioning between the two quickly.
- The Mt Wellington area is busy with commercial traffic. Stay patient at intersections and give trucks and buses room to manoeuvre.
- All 50 km/h with no speed changes keeps things simple, but ensure you maintain exactly the limit. Going 45 km/h in a 50 zone can cost marks for impeding traffic.
