Butler #848 Pro
A 15 km three-stage route from Butler DVS Centre, the longest Butler route at about 29 minutes. This route extends east to the Mitchell Freeway area and south into Merriwa, covering more ground than Route #221 (11.7 km). With 27 roundabouts and only 5 traffic lights, this is the most roundabout-intensive Butler route. Speed limits range from 50 to 70 km/h through the new suburban developments.
Watch Out For
- 27 roundabouts. The highest count at Butler. Concentrated along Butler Boulevard, Connolly Drive, and Marchwood Boulevard. In WA, signal before entering: left indicator for turning left, right indicator for turning right, no indicator for going straight. Always signal left when exiting.
- Connolly Drive (70 km/h). The fastest section. Reach the limit promptly without exceeding it.
- Mitchell Freeway area. This route passes near the freeway on/off ramps at Benenden Avenue. Watch for merging traffic.
- Only 5 traffic lights. Almost every intersection is a roundabout. Do not rely on signals to manage right of way.
Route Features
- 11 left turns, 6 right turns, 27 roundabouts, 5 sets of traffic lights.
- 27 roundabouts. More than Route #221 (24 roundabouts) and the most at Butler.
- Speed range: 50-70 km/h. Tetbury Road and Homebush Drive at 60 km/h, Connolly Drive at 70 km/h.
- 3 stages. The only three-stage route at Butler.
- Extends into Merriwa via Bradman Drive.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop along the mid-section of the route, near the Connolly Drive area.
Key Tips
- 27 roundabouts demands perfect WA signalling: indicate on entry, indicate left on exit. Any lapse will be noticed across this many roundabouts.
- Three stages means two kerbside stops or manoeuvres. Stay focused through each transition.
- Compared to Route #221, this route covers a larger area and includes Merriwa and the Mitchell Freeway surrounds. Practise these areas separately if unfamiliar.
