Pukekohe #311 Pro
This 7.07 km Pukekohe route takes about 15.5 minutes and loops through the town centre via Queen Street, Manukau Road, and Kitchener Road. At 30-50 km/h throughout, it is the shortest of three Pukekohe routes but packs in 8 roundabouts and only 2 traffic signals. Compared to Route 312 and Route 313, this is the only Pukekohe route with any traffic signals at all.
Watch Out For
- Queen Street roundabouts. Multiple roundabouts in quick succession through the town centre. Signal on entry, give way to the right, and signal left when exiting.
- Manukau Road. Transition from 30 km/h town centre to 50 km/h. Watch for pedestrians near shops and adjust speed promptly.
- Kitchener Road. Give way intersections along this stretch require careful scanning for cross traffic from the right.
Route Features
- 4 left turns, 7 right turns, 8 roundabouts, 2 sets of traffic lights.
- Distance: 7.07 km | Duration: 15.5 min | 1 stage
- Turns: 1 left, 5 right | 8 roundabouts | 2 traffic signals
- Speed zones: 30 km/h (town centre) and 50 km/h
- Waypoints: 15 total including 9 give ways and 2 pedestrian crossings
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull over on Manukau Road. Check mirrors, signal left, pull over smoothly, and apply the handbrake.
Key Tips
- Practise roundabout entries and exits repeatedly. With 8 roundabouts, your indicator discipline and lane positioning will be tested constantly.
- The 2 traffic signals near Queen Street are the only ones on all three Pukekohe routes, so treat them carefully.
- Keep to 30 km/h through the town centre. Speed cameras and pedestrian activity make this zone a common fault area.
