A 9.5 km two-stage route from Coolaroo VicRoads, taking about 19 minutes through Coolaroo and Meadow Heights. The opposite of the roundabout-heavy routes at this centre: only 1 roundabout but 52 give way junctions, by far the most at this centre. With 22 bike lanes and 7 stop signs, this route tests intersection awareness without roundabout skills. Speed reaches 80 km/h on Pascoe Vale Road.

Watch Out For

  • 52 give way junctions. The highest at this centre. One every 180 metres on average. The southern Meadow Heights residential area has give way at nearly every intersection.
  • 22 bike lanes. The most at this centre. The Meadow Heights corridor has heavy cyclist activity. Check mirrors before every turn.
  • 7 stop signs. Concentrated in the southern residential loop. Each requires a complete stop with wheels stationary.
  • Pascoe Vale Road (80 km/h). Extended high-speed section. The transition to 50 km/h residential streets is abrupt. Watch for the signs.

Route Features

  • 10 left turns, 9 right turns, 1 roundabout.
  • Only 1 roundabout. Routes #34 and #36 have 10-12 each.
  • 52 give way junctions, the most at this centre.
  • 22 bike lanes, the most at this centre.
  • 7 stop signs. Requires stop sign discipline alongside give-way awareness.
  • Speed: mostly 80 km/h connecting roads with 50 km/h residential pockets.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 52 give ways, this is a give-way endurance test. Give way to the right at every uncontrolled intersection. Stay disciplined throughout.
  • The Paringa Boulevard area has wider streets that can feel faster than 50 km/h. Check the speed signs.
  • At the 7 stop signs, make each stop deliberate. After dozens of give-way junctions, it is easy to roll through a stop sign by mistake.
