Richmond #840 Pro
A 10.8 km route from Richmond Service NSW across 2 stages, taking 22 minutes. This is the second multi-stage route from Richmond (alongside Route 155) and the only one that includes Long Street and Mason Avenue in Hobartville. The route heads west through the residential grid before looping via Drift Road and Inalls Lane. With 2 school zones, equal 50/60 km/h splits, and a brief 80 km/h section, speed management requires sustained attention.
Watch Out For
- School zone near Francis Street. 40 km/h during school hours (8:00-9:30am and 2:30-4:00pm).
- School zone near Windsor/Bourke Street. Second school zone on a busy stretch. Two zones on one route demands extra attention.
- Thompson Avenue and Catchpole Avenue. Quiet residential streets in Hobartville with limited sight lines at intersections.
- Drift Road 80 km/h section. Brief high-speed zone. Accelerate smoothly and be ready to slow down again.
Route Features
- 12 left turns, 10 right turns, 1 roundabout, 5 sets of traffic lights.
- 4 stop signs, 2 give way intersections, 2 school zones.
- Speed limits: 50, 60, and 80 km/h. Equal split between 50 and 60 km/h driving.
- Covers Catchpole Avenue, Mason Avenue, and the Inalls Lane/Drift Road western loop.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near Long Street/Douglas Street area.
Key Tips
- As a 2-stage route, expect a brief pause between stages. Use it to reset your focus.
- The western loop via Inalls Lane and Drift Road transitions through 50, 60, and 80 km/h quickly. Watch speed signs closely.
- Only 1 roundabout (shared with Routes 59 and 155), but 4 stop signs. Full stops at each one.
