Coolaroo #36 Free
The longest route from Coolaroo VicRoads at 11.6 km, taking about 25 minutes through Coolaroo, Meadow Heights, and Roxburgh Park. With 12 roundabouts (the most at this centre) and a right-turn bias (12 left, 15 right), this is the most technically demanding route here. It extends north to Havilland Drive in Roxburgh Park.
Watch Out For
- 12 roundabouts. The most at this centre. Clusters on Bicentennial Crescent, Roxburgh Park Drive, and the northern Ravenhill Boulevard area. VIC roundabout signalling at each one.
- 15 right turns. The most right turns at this centre. At roundabouts, indicate right before entering, then switch to left when exiting. This requires quick indicator management.
- School zone in Roxburgh Park. The only school zone on this route. 40 km/h during school hours. Easy to miss in the northern residential area.
- Pascoe Vale Road (80 km/h). High-speed southern section. The transition to 60 km/h residential streets requires early braking.
Route Features
- 12 left turns, 15 right turns, 12 roundabouts.
- 12 roundabouts, the most at this centre.

Key Tips
- With 12 roundabouts and 15 right turns, right-turn roundabout signalling is the key skill. Practise indicating right on entry and left on exit until automatic.
- The northern Hawker Avenue to Bentham Street loop has quiet streets with give way junctions. Visibility may be limited by fences.
- At 25 minutes, this is the longest Coolaroo route. Maintain concentration through the final roundabouts returning south.
