At 23.41 km and 38 minutes, this is by far the longest Takanini route, nearly three times the distance of Routes 317 and 318. It ventures beyond the local area through Randwick Park, The Gardens, Totara Heights, Goodwood Heights, Wiri, and Manukau, with speeds reaching 100 km/h on the motorway. It has 13 traffic signals but only 3 roundabouts, plus a school zone and stop sign.

Watch Out For

  • School zone near Porchester Road. Variable electronic 40 km/h signs. Obey flashing lights even if the road looks clear.
  • Stop sign. Full stop required. Come to a complete standstill, observe, then go.
  • Great South Road. Multi-lane road with frequent speed changes between 50, 60, 70, and 80 km/h. Watch every speed sign closely.
  • Manuroa Road motorway on-ramp. Accelerate to 100 km/h on the ramp. Check mirrors and blind spots before merging. Match motorway speed.
  • Spartan Road. Transition back to 50 km/h residential streets after the motorway. Adjust speed early.

Route Features

  • 9 left turns, 15 right turns, 3 roundabouts, 13 sets of traffic lights.
  • Distance: 23.41 km, single stage
  • Duration: approximately 38 minutes
  • Turns: 9 left, 15 right
  • 3 roundabouts, 13 traffic signals
  • Speed zones: 50, 60, 70, and 100 km/h (22 speed-change waypoints)
  • 1 school zone, 1 stop sign

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pull over on Spartan Road. Residential setting before or after the motorway section.

Key Tips

  • The 100 km/h motorway section is the standout challenge. Accelerate confidently on the ramp, check mirrors and blind spot, merge smoothly, and maintain the speed limit.
  • With 22 speed-change waypoints, this route demands constant attention to posted limits. Adjust promptly at each sign.
  • After high-speed motorway driving, transition back to 50 km/h carefully. It is easy to carry excess speed into suburban streets.
