Watch Out For

• 49 give way junctions. Second-highest at this centre. The Meadow Heights residential area has give way at nearly every intersection. Give way to the right at each one.
• 8 stop signs. The most at this centre. Concentrated in the Dallas/Meadow Heights residential loop. After dozens of give way junctions, do not let a stop sign catch you rolling through.
• 20 bike lanes. Second-most at this centre. The Meadow Heights corridor has heavy cyclist activity. Head check before every left turn.
• School zone in Dallas. One school zone on this route. 40 km/h during school hours.

Key Tips

• With zero roundabouts, this route is a pure test of give-way and stop-sign skills. Ideal if roundabouts are your weakness.
• The Guildford Avenue to Kyabram Street area in Dallas has quiet residential streets. Maintain 60 km/h where signed.
• The 8 stop signs are the biggest trap. After navigating 49 give-way junctions, the muscle memory to slow and scan can override the requirement to stop completely.
