A 7.8 km two-stage route from Carlton VicRoads, taking about 23 minutes through Carlton, Carlton North, and Princes Hill. This route has 10 roundabouts and 5 school zones, the most school zones of any Carlton route. The strong left-turn bias (11 left, 3 right) means frequent lane-crossing manoeuvres.

Watch Out For

  • School zones near Pigdon Street. Three school zones clustered in the Princes Hill area. 40 km/h during school hours. Check the electronic signs for active times.
  • School zones on McIlwraith Street. Two more school zones on the return leg. Speed can creep up after leaving the previous zone.
  • Roundabouts on Keppel/Palmerston Street. Multiple roundabouts in quick succession. In VIC, indicate before entering (left for left, right for right, none for straight). Always indicate left when exiting.
  • 20 stop signs along the route. Come to a complete stop at every one. Rolling through is an immediate fail.

Route Features

  • 12 left turns, 5 right turns, 10 roundabouts, 8 sets of traffic lights, 1 U-turn.
  • 10 roundabouts, second-highest at this centre after Route #8 (11).
  • 8 traffic signals, mostly along Lygon Street.
  • Speed range: 40-60 km/h. 40 km/h zones dominate, with 60 km/h sections near Rathdowne Street.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Practice VIC roundabout signalling before this route. With 10 roundabouts, indicator errors accumulate quickly.
  • Each of the 20 stop signs must be a full, complete stop with wheels stationary.
  • Watch for cyclists on Garton Street and Wilson Street bike lanes. Check mirrors before every left turn.
