This 8.86 km route takes about 22 minutes and is similar in length to Route 317 but features more turns (9 left, 8 right) through newer housing areas like Kauri Heart Avenue. Like Route 317, it stays at 50 km/h throughout and shares the same school zone and stop sign. Route 319, by contrast, is nearly three times longer and reaches 100 km/h on the motorway.

Watch Out For

• School zone near Porchester Road. Variable electronic 40 km/h signs. Reduce speed to 40 km/h whenever the flashing lights are on.
• Stop sign on Airfield Road. Complete stop required. Wheels must be stationary before you check and move off.
• Kauri Heart Avenue. New subdivision with wide streets but limited visibility at corners. Drive cautiously at intersections.
• Rawson Way. Quiet residential street. The examiner may request a pull over here, so stay observant.
• Porchester Road south end. Approaching the roundabout, ensure you give way to the right and signal correctly.
