Mobile (Penrith) #817 Free
A 12 km 2-stage route from Mobile Service Centre 1 (Penrith), the longest route from this centre. It covers Penrith, South Penrith, Kingswood and Jamisontown. With 23 roundabouts, this is by far the most roundabout-dense route from Penrith, surpassing Route #65's 17 and Route #64's 9. It also includes 70 km/h sections on the southern stretch, making it the fastest Penrith route.
Watch Out For
- Roundabouts near Maxwell Street. 23 roundabouts is an extremely high count. Several are closely spaced in the South Penrith residential area.
- 70 km/h sections south of Penrith. Speed increases on the southern roads. Build up speed smoothly and brake earlier than in 50 zones.
- Pedestrian crossing near Greenway Drive. Must stop for anyone waiting. The only pedestrian crossing on this route.
- Stop sign near Preston Street. Only 1 stop sign on the route, but do not miss it. Full stop required.
Route Features
- 8 left turns, 9 right turns, 23 roundabouts, 6 sets of traffic lights.
- Speed limits: 40, 50, 60 and 70 km/h. The widest speed range of any Penrith route.
- 1 stop sign, 2 give ways, 1 pedestrian crossing.
- Covers 4 suburbs: Penrith, South Penrith, Kingswood and Jamisontown.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near Smith Street.
Key Tips
- 23 roundabouts in 12 km means one every 500 metres. In NSW, signal left when exiting. Give way to traffic already in the roundabout and to your right.
- Route #64 has 9 roundabouts, Route #65 has 17, and this route has 23. If you can handle this route, you can handle any Penrith route.
- The mix of 40-70 km/h zones demands constant speed awareness. Check signs at every transition, especially on York Road and Jamison Road.
