Wentworth #738 Free
A single-stage route from the Wentworth Service Centre in far western NSW, covering 9.3 km in about 21 minutes. The route stays entirely within the small town of Wentworth, looping through quiet residential streets like Adams Street, Darling Street, and Beverley Street. There are zero traffic lights and 11 give way intersections, so the entire test is about scanning, right-of-way decisions, and smooth speed management between 40 and 60 km/h.
Watch Out For
- Give way intersections throughout town. With 11 give way signs and no traffic lights, every intersection requires a proper head check. Come to a near-stop if visibility is limited by hedges or fences.
- Northern section near Perry Street. The route extends to the edge of town where speed increases to 60 km/h. Watch for the transition back to 50 km/h when re-entering the built-up area.
- 40 km/h zone near Darling Street. A short stretch drops to 40 km/h. Easy to miss in a town where most roads are 50 km/h.
- 2 roundabouts. Give way to vehicles approaching from your right. Signal left when exiting.
Route Features
- 16 left turns and 8 right turns. The route favours left turns through the grid-pattern streets.
- 2 roundabouts, 0 traffic lights, 11 give way signs.
- Speed limits: mostly 50 km/h, with short 40 km/h and 60 km/h sections.
- Key streets include Adams Street, Adelaide Street, Murray Street, and Burns Street.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop in the residential area near Adams Street.
Key Tips
- Wentworth is a quiet country town with very little traffic. Do not let the empty roads reduce your alertness at give way intersections. The examiner expects full observation checks every time.
- The grid street layout means many T-intersections in quick succession. Maintain consistent 50 km/h between turns and brake smoothly before each give way.
- At the southern end near Alice Street, the road is wide and open. Stay at the speed limit rather than creeping below it.
