This 9.2 km, single-stage route from the Joondalup Assessment Centre takes about 21 minutes, looping through the Joondalup city centre and the residential area around Otisco Crescent near the mountain bike park. Speed limits range from 50 to 70 km/h, with 50 km/h residential streets forming the largest portion. This is one of the shorter routes from this busy centre, similar in length to Route #184 (9.8 km). With 5 roundabouts and 4 traffic signals, it offers a balanced mix of both.

Watch Out For

• Five roundabouts, including busy ones near Grand Boulevard and Regents Park Road. In WA, signal your intended direction when entering and signal left to exit.
• Speed transition from 70 km/h on Joondalup Drive down to 50 km/h when entering residential streets. Reduce speed promptly at the sign.
• The Otisco Crescent loop is a quiet residential area with narrow streets. Watch for parked cars and children, and keep to 50 km/h.

Key Tips

• The Joondalup city centre around Boas Avenue and McLarty Avenue can have pedestrian traffic. Watch for people crossing between parked cars.
