A 13.5 km two-stage route through Smeaton Grange and Narellan, taking about 29 minutes. This is the only Macarthur route with 2 stages, meaning the examiner may pause mid-route for additional instructions. The route starts through Camden Valley Way heading south, enters Richardson Road in Narellan's residential area, and loops through a network of quiet streets before returning via the same highway. With 5 roundabouts and 16 traffic lights, it sits between Route #103 (4 roundabouts, 11 lights) and Route #838 (4 roundabouts, 17 lights).

Watch Out For

  • U-turn near Kirkham Street. Same location as Routes #102, #103, and #838. Check mirrors, signal, confirm no oncoming traffic before executing.
  • Queen Street, Narellan. A busy shopping strip with pedestrians crossing. Multiple speed changes between 40 and 60 km/h in this area.
  • Richardson Road. A residential street with a gentle curve and limited visibility. Watch for cars reversing from driveways.
  • Mowatt Street and Shoemark Place. Quiet cul-de-sac area in Narellan. Tight turns at low speed require smooth steering.
  • Speed transition from 80 to 40 km/h. Coming off Camden Valley Way into Narellan, the speed drops sharply. Begin braking well before the 40 km/h sign.

Route Features

  • 8 left turns, 8 right turns, 5 roundabouts, 16 sets of traffic lights.
  • 2 stages. The only multi-stage route at Macarthur. The stage break likely happens near the kerbside stop in Narellan.
  • 5 roundabouts, the second most after Route #428 (7 roundabouts).
  • Speed range: 40-80 km/h. Mostly 50 km/h residential streets (89% of the route).
  • 2 stop signs, 2 give way intersections, 1 U-turn.
  • Explores deeper into Narellan's residential streets south of Queen Street than other routes.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • The 2-stage format means a natural break in the test. Use the pause to reset your focus for the second half.
  • Richardson Road and surrounding streets are unique to this route. If you only practise Routes #102 or #103, these streets will be unfamiliar.
  • 5 roundabouts with 8 balanced turns (8 left, 8 right) means consistent mirror-signal-head check technique matters throughout.
  • The Camden Valley Way 80 km/h sections are shared with Routes #102, #103, and #838. Practise highway merging separately.
