Carlton #6 Pro
A 7.7 km two-stage route from Carlton VicRoads, taking about 22 minutes through Carlton, Carlton North, and Princes Hill. This route has the most total turns at this centre (15 left, 11 right) but only 3 traffic signals, making it heavily reliant on give way rules and stop signs (20) rather than signal-controlled intersections.
Watch Out For
- Stop signs on Richardson/McIlwraith Street. 20 stop signs along this route. The residential grid in Carlton North has one at nearly every intersection. Each must be a complete stop.
- Fenwick Street to Canning Street transition. Speed changes from 40 to 60 km/h. Easy to miss the sign when focused on the turn.
- Roundabouts near Palmerston Street. Two roundabouts in the southern section. With 26 turns to manage overall, these can catch you off guard.
- Give way at Fenwick Street. Uncontrolled intersection where you must give way to the right. Check thoroughly before proceeding.
Route Features
- 15 left turns, 11 right turns, 4 roundabouts, 3 sets of traffic lights, 1 U-turn.
- 26 turns total (15 left, 11 right), the highest turn count at this centre.
- Only 3 traffic signals, the fewest of any Carlton route. Most intersections are stop-sign or give-way controlled.
- 4 roundabouts near Keppel Street.
- Speed range: 40-60 km/h. 40 km/h zones dominate with 60 km/h on Canning Street and near Rathdowne Street.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near Wilson Street in Carlton North.
Key Tips
- With only 3 signals, most intersections rely on your judgement. Know give-way-to-the-right rules for uncontrolled crossroads.
- The high turn count means constant mirror checks and indicator use. Do not cancel your indicator early on back-to-back turns.
- On narrow Arnold Street and Wilson Street, slow down for parked cars on both sides.
