A 10.1 km two-stage route from Warners Bay Service Centre, covering Warners Bay, Eleebana, and Lakelands in about 20 minutes. This is the shortest Warners Bay route and the only one that stays entirely within the lakeside suburbs without heading to Cardiff or Macquarie Hills. With 6 left turns, 10 right turns, 7 roundabouts and 9 traffic lights, it has a strong right-turn bias, the opposite of Route #157 which favours left turns.

Watch Out For

  • School zone on King Street. 40 km/h during school hours (8:00-9:30am and 2:30-4:00pm). Same school zone as Route #157.
  • The Esplanade. Lakeside road with a 40 km/h zone. The speed drops sharply from 60 km/h. Easy to miss when distracted by the lake view.
  • 6 give way signs. More than any other Warners Bay route. Clustered along Cherry Road in Eleebana and the lakeside streets. Full observation before entering.
  • 10 right turns. Nearly double the 6 left turns. Right turns cross oncoming traffic; extra mirror and head checks needed.

Route Features

  • 6 left turns, 10 right turns, 7 roundabouts, 9 sets of traffic lights.
  • Speed limits: 40, 50, 60, and 70 km/h. Four different speed zones in just 10 km.
  • 7 roundabouts, tied with Route #157 for the most at this centre.
  • 6 give way intersections, the highest count at Warners Bay.
  • Stays within the lakeside suburbs: Bayview Street, James Street, and Cherry Road.

Test Manoeuvres

  • Kerbside stop near Cherry Road in Eleebana, on the southern loop of the route.

Key Tips

  • 10 right turns require consistent mirror-signal-head check routine. This is where most marks are lost on right-turn-heavy routes.
  • Unlike Route #157 which extends to Cardiff and Macquarie Hills, this route stays near the lake. If you have practised #157, the Eleebana section will be new territory.
  • Four speed limits (40-70 km/h) in 10 km means a speed change roughly every 2.5 km. Stay alert to the signs, especially the 40 km/h drop near The Esplanade.
