This is the longest Silverdale VTNZ route at 17.67 km, taking about 28 minutes in a single stage. It features motorway driving at 100 km/h on the Auckland Northern Motorway, 10 roundabouts, and 10 traffic signals. The route heads north through Orewa and the Millwater area before returning via the motorway.

Watch Out For

Motorway merging and exiting at 100 km/h requires confident lane changes and mirror checks. The 10 roundabouts, the most of any Silverdale route, demand consistent give way to the right. Seventeen give way intersections and 4 pedestrian crossings keep you alert throughout.

Route Features

  • 9 left turns, 4 right turns, 10 roundabouts, 10 sets of traffic lights.

Covers a wide range of speeds from 50 to 100 km/h across residential, urban, and motorway environments. The route passes through Grand Drive in Orewa and Arran Drive in the northern suburbs. With 47 waypoints, it is the most detailed route at this office.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull over safely. Navigate 10 roundabouts with correct signalling. Merge onto and exit the motorway at 100 km/h. Handle 10 signal-controlled intersections with proper positioning.

Key Tips

Practise motorway merging beforehand as this is the only Silverdale route with 100 km/h driving. On the motorway, check mirrors and blind spots before every lane change. In the Orewa roundabouts, signal on entry and signal left before your exit.
