An 8.4 km route from Castle Hill Service NSW Centre across 2 stages, taking 17 minutes through Castle Hill, Norwest, and Kellyville. With 3 stop signs and 5 give way intersections, this route has the most mandatory stopping points of all Castle Hill routes. It includes a school zone near Green Road and reaches 70 km/h on President Road.

Watch Out For

• Shopping centre exit on Hudson Avenue. Strictly 20 km/h with pedestrian humps. Give way to traffic on both sides when exiting.
• Victoria Avenue to Windsor Road right turn. Two right-turning lanes. Common fail point: drifting into the wrong lane. Must maintain lane discipline (Lane 2 to Lane 2).
• Windsor Road and President Road intersection. Major intersection requiring careful lane discipline. Don’t drive over painted islands or double white lines on Windsor Road.
• Confusing traffic lights on President Road. Green light (no arrow) means give way to oncoming traffic. Green arrow means you have right of way. 3 stop signs along the northern section — complete stop at each one.
• 40 km/h zone near President Road. Speed drops quickly from 70 to 40. School zone active 8:00–9:30 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM.
• Green Road speed trap. Wide road looks like a highway but is a 60 km/h zone. Students frequently speed here without realising.
• York Road roundabout. Give way while transitioning out of the school zone. Watch for conflicting traffic.
• Victoria Avenue and Showground Road lights. Red light camera present. Do not jump yellow lights.
• Pedestrian crossings on Hudson Avenue and President Road. High pedestrian activity. Watch for hidden pedestrians stepping out from behind parked cars.
• Final ramp to Service NSW. Very narrow with tight curves. Hitting the kerb here is an immediate fail right at the end of your test.

Key Tips

• The speed range (20–60 km/h) covers five different limits on this route. Speed transitions near President Road are sharp — adjust quickly.
• 3 stop signs require full stops. This is unusual for Castle Hill routes where most others have zero stops.
• The school zone near Green Road is on the northern loop. Check the time before your test. School zones are also active on President Road and York Road.
• The Victoria Avenue roundabout requires giving way to vehicles on your right and vehicles opposite turning right.
• Pay close attention to the final ramp back to Service NSW. After a long test, losing focus on tight curves can cost you your licence.
