New Lynn #307 Pro
A 17 km, two-stage route from the New Lynn VTNZ centre, taking about 35 minutes through Blockhouse Bay, Mt Roskill, Wesley, New Windsor, and Avondale. This is the longest route from New Lynn, slightly longer than Route #185 (16.13 km) and Route #194 (16.23 km). With 62 total waypoints, 18 traffic signals, 15 stop signs, 11 school zones, and 9 pedestrian crossings, this is by far the most obstacle-dense route from this office. It includes a 100 km/h section on the Southwestern Motorway and even 10 km/h zones.

- Dominion Road traffic signals. 18 traffic signals in total. This eastern section has dense signal-controlled intersections. Watch light sequences carefully.
- Southwestern Motorway on-ramp. Brief 100 km/h section. Merge smoothly, check mirrors and blind spots. Build speed on the ramp before joining traffic.

Key Tips
- This route packs the most obstacles of any New Lynn route (62 waypoints). Constant scanning and early anticipation are essential.
- Speed transitions are frequent: 10 km/h zones, 40 km/h school zones, 50 km/h residential, and 100 km/h motorway. Adjust promptly at each sign.
- With 19 turns and 18 signals, long straight sections on arterial roads dominate. Maintain the posted speed and stay centred in your lane.
- The 10 km/h zones are unusual. These may be near car parks or shared pedestrian areas. Slow right down and give priority to pedestrians.
