Engadine #816 Free
A 7.7 km single-stage route from Engadine, about 17 minutes, similar in length to the original Routes #88 and #139. It heads east to the Yarrawarrah loop via Princes Highway, passing through Nullabor Place and Giles Street before returning. With 16 roundabouts and 4 traffic signals, it sits between Route #139 (12 roundabouts) and #815 (21 roundabouts) in complexity. This is a free route.
Watch Out For
- 70 km/h on Princes Highway. Shared highway section with Routes #139 and #815. Accelerate after the traffic lights and maintain speed until the Yarrawarrah turn-off.
- Yarrawarrah roundabouts. Multiple roundabouts through Giles Street and the residential loop. Give way to the right, signal left when exiting.
- School zone near Station Street. 40 km/h during school hours (8:00-9:30am and 2:30-4:00pm).
- 3 stop signs. Near Princes Highway and at Old Bush Road. Complete stop required.
Route Features
- 3 left turns, 6 right turns, 16 roundabouts, 4 sets of traffic lights.
- 16 roundabouts, more than Route #139 (12) on a similar Yarrawarrah loop.
- 4 traffic signals, tied for the most of any Engadine route.
- 14 give way intersections and 3 stop signs.
- Speed range 50-70 km/h.
- Only 1 school zone, the fewest among Engadine routes with 70 km/h sections.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near Caldarra Avenue/Old Princes Highway.
Key Tips
- This route is closest in structure to Route #139 but adds 4 more roundabouts via the Nullabor Place/Gibson Street extension. If you know #139, expect a slightly longer Yarrawarrah loop.
- With only 3 left turns but 6 right turns, right-turn observations across traffic are tested more than left turns. Plan your gaps early.
- As a free route, this is ideal for first-time practice of Engadine's 70 km/h highway section and Yarrawarrah roundabout cluster.
