Watch Out For

  • Anzac Street traffic signals in Takapuna. 21 traffic signals on this route, the highest of any North Shore route. Stay alert for light changes and stop smoothly on amber.
  • School zones near Hillcrest. Five school zones at 40 km/h. Variable speed signs may be active during school hours. Slow down well before the zone boundary.
  • Esmonde Road speed change. Speed increases to 60 km/h and briefly 100 km/h. Build speed smoothly and reach the posted limit without hesitation.
  • Taharoto Road bike lanes. Seven bike lane sections. Check for cyclists before turning left across bike lanes. Do not drive in the bike lane.

Key Tips

  • Transitioning from 50 to 100 km/h tests your ability to accelerate confidently. Use the on-ramp to build speed smoothly before merging.
  • With 52 waypoints, this is the most complex route from North Shore. Practise the full route at least twice before your test day.
