Carlton #9 Pro
The shortest route from Carlton VicRoads at 6.2 km, taking about 18 minutes through Carlton, Carlton North, and Princes Hill. This is the only Carlton route with a right-turn bias (9 left, 11 right), meaning more gap selection when crossing oncoming traffic. Only 2 roundabouts and 4 signals keep intersections simple, but 16 stop signs require discipline.
Watch Out For
- Right-turn gap selection. With 11 right turns, you will frequently need to judge gaps in oncoming traffic. On Fenwick Street and Mary Street, sight lines can be limited by parked cars.
- Stop signs on Drummond/Newry Street. 16 stop signs throughout. The Carlton North grid demands a full stop at each one.
- Speed change on Rathdowne Street. Transitions from 40 to 60 km/h. The change happens quickly and the sign is easy to miss between intersections.
- Cyclists on Fenwick/Rathdowne corridor. 8 bike lanes along this route. Right turns across bike lanes require a head-check to the left.
Route Features
- 11 left turns, 11 right turns, 2 roundabouts, 4 sets of traffic lights.
- Only 2 roundabouts, the fewest at this centre (tied with Route #115).
- 4 traffic signals, below the centre average.
- Speed range: 40-60 km/h. Primarily 60 km/h on the Canning Street and northern sections, with 40 km/h in Carlton North residential streets.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop near Canning Street.
Key Tips
- For right turns at uncontrolled intersections, stop fully, then wait for a clear gap. Do not rush right turns, especially on Pigdon Street where traffic can appear quickly.
- The northern section via Park Street has wide streets with good visibility. Maintain 60 km/h where signed.
- Despite being the shortest route, the right-turn bias makes it technically challenging. Practice gap selection before attempting this route.
