Watch Out For

• School zones on Glenfield Road. Two 40 km/h school zones along this route. Watch for variable speed signs during school hours and slow down early.

Key Tips

• The 13 right turns require consistent mirror checks and early signalling. Position to the centre of your lane before each right turn.
• Both school zones have variable speed signs. If the 40 km/h signs are flashing, you must slow down even if no children are visible.
• All intersections are at 50 km/h, so maintain steady speed between turns and avoid creeping below the limit on straight sections.
