At 17.51 km and 31.4 minutes, this is the longest Pukekohe route by far, extending north through Seddon Street and Paerata Road into rural Paerata before looping back via Crown Road. It has 11 roundabouts and zero traffic signals, making it the most roundabout-intensive route with the highest speed (up to 60 km/h on rural stretches). Compared to the shorter Route 311 (7 km, 8 roundabouts) and Route 312 (7.7 km, 9 roundabouts), this route adds rural driving, school zones, and a stop sign to the mix.

Watch Out For

  • Seddon Street school zone. Variable 40 km/h school zone. Flashing lights mean the lower limit is active. Exceeding the limit here is a critical error.
  • Second school zone. Another school zone further along the route. Stay alert for the variable speed signs even outside peak times.
  • Stop sign intersection. The only stop sign on any Pukekohe route. You must come to a complete stop, not just slow down. Check both directions before proceeding.
  • Paerata Road rural section. Speed increases to 60 km/h on open road. Watch for farm vehicles and narrow shoulders.
  • Crown Road. Rural road with gentle curves. Maintain lane position and adjust speed for bends.

Route Features

  • 7 left turns, 12 right turns, 11 roundabouts.
  • Distance: 17.51 km | Duration: 31.4 min | 1 stage
  • Turns: 4 left, 9 right | 11 roundabouts | 0 traffic signals
  • Speed zones: 30 km/h, 50 km/h, and 60 km/h (rural)

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pull over on Subway Road. Check mirrors, signal, pull over safely, and apply the handbrake.

Key Tips

  • This is the only Pukekohe route reaching 60 km/h. Accelerate smoothly to the limit on rural roads but be ready to slow for the return to 50 km/h.
  • With 11 roundabouts and zero signals, your roundabout technique must be flawless. Signal on entry, give way to the right, signal left when exiting.
  • The stop sign is unique among Pukekohe routes. A rolling stop is an automatic critical error.
  • School zones drop to 40 km/h when flashing. Watch the variable signs carefully.
