A 1-stage route covering 10.4 km in about 19 minutes through Edmondson Park, Bardia, Casula and Prestons. This route shares the same Camden Valley Way highway section as Route #150 but takes a different path through Bardia via Ingleburn Gardens Drive and Arthur Allen Drive. With 19 traffic signals (the joint most at this centre) and speeds up to 80 km/h, it tests both intersection management and speed adaptation.

Watch Out For

• 80 km/h on Camden Valley Way. Brief highway section. You must reach close to 80. Driving well under the limit will be penalised.
• School zone on Bernera Road. 40 km/h during school hours (8:00-9:30am and 2:30-4:00pm). Easy to miss after the 60 km/h section.
• MacDonald Road speed transitions. Speed changes from 60 to 70 several times. Watch for signs carefully at each change.
• Stop signs near Prestons. 4 stop signs total. Must come to a complete stop at each one.

Route Features

• 6 left turns, 8 right turns, 4 roundabouts and 19 traffic signals.
• Speed range 50-80 km/h, plus the 40 km/h school zone. The 70 km/h sections make up the largest portion of the route.
• Passes through newer development areas in Bardia with wide roads and good visibility.
• 5 give way intersections and 4 stop signs.

Test Manoeuvres

• Kerbside stop near Henderson Road/Soldiers Parade.

Key Tips

• The Ingleburn Gardens Drive section has 50 km/h residential streets with parked cars on both sides. Keep left and watch for pedestrians.
• Unlike Route #150 which has 2 school zones, this route has only 1. But it sits right after a 60 km/h section, so the speed drop is significant.
• 19 traffic signals means frequent stopping. Stay patient and avoid creeping into intersections on amber.
