Rockdale #84 Pro
A 9.5 km, single-stage route heading northeast from Rockdale into Banksia and Arncliffe. Unlike the other Rockdale routes that go south to Kogarah, this one takes a completely different direction. It has 8 roundabouts (second most) and 5 stop signs, but only 7 traffic lights. The maximum speed is 60 km/h throughout.
Watch Out For
- 5 stop signs in the Banksia area. The highest stop sign count of all Rockdale routes. Each requires a complete stop. Concentrated around Bay Street and surrounds.
- School zones near Bay Street. 2 school zones in the Banksia area. 40 km/h during school hours.
- 8 roundabouts. Second only to Route #85. Approach each ready to give way.
- Pedestrian crossing near George Street. Must stop for pedestrians.
- 40 km/h zone near Gibbes Street. Reduced speed area in a residential zone.
