Richmond #842 Free
The longest route from any Richmond test at 15.5 km, taking 35 minutes in a single stage. This route covers the widest area, reaching east to Pitt Street and west to Old Kurrajong Road. With 11 traffic lights (far more than any other Richmond route), 6 stop signs, 4 give way intersections, and speed limits from 20 to 80 km/h, it tests every skill. The route traverses Hereford Street in Hobartville and Moray Street before heading north through Lennox Street to the Old Kurrajong Road loop.

- School zone near Windsor/Bourke Street. Second school zone in the busier eastern section.
