Wiri #324 Pro
This 9.38 km route has the highest traffic signal density of any Wiri route, with 26 signals in under 10 km. Taking about 22 minutes, it runs through Wiri, Papatoetoe, and Manukau via Lambie Drive. Almost the entire route is at 60 km/h, with a brief 50 km/h section and a rare 10 km/h zone. Two roundabouts add to the complexity. Only 5 left turns but 7 right turns demand careful gap selection at busy intersections.
Watch Out For
- 10 km/h speed zone. Likely a car park or shared zone near Cavendish Drive. This is the only route from Wiri with a 10 km/h limit. Slow right down and watch for pedestrians.
- 26 traffic signals in 9.38 km. That is roughly one signal every 360 m. Stay alert for amber lights. Do not accelerate to beat a changing light.
- Roundabout near Lambie Drive. One of 2 roundabouts on this route. Give way to the right, signal on entry, signal left when exiting.
- Stop sign near Brett Avenue and stop sign on Wiri Station Road. Two stop signs. Come to a complete stop at each.
- 14 give way intersections. The highest count of any Wiri route. At T-intersections, give way to straight-through traffic.
Route Features
- 5 left turns, 7 right turns, 2 roundabouts, 26 sets of traffic lights.
- 26 traffic signals, 5 left turns, 7 right turns, 2 roundabouts, 2 stop signs, 14 give way signs.
- Predominantly 60 km/h. Passes through Ranfurly Road, Stafford Avenue, and Grayson Avenue in Papatoetoe, then east to Wiri Station Road.
- 3 bike lane sections along the route. Check your left mirror before turning.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull over near Roscommon Road. Check mirrors, signal left, stop smoothly parallel to the kerb.
Key Tips
- With 14 give way signs, you will encounter one roughly every 670 m. At each intersection, scan right first (NZ priority), then left, then right again.
- The 7 right turns across busy 60 km/h roads require confident gap judgement. Do not hesitate mid-turn.
- Compared to Route #323 (12 signals in 6.93 km), this route doubles the signal count while adding 1 more roundabout. Practice signal awareness heavily.
