Chatswood #954 Pro
This 8.65 km route runs about 19.9 minutes in a single stage through Chatswood, Willoughby, North Willoughby, Willoughby East and Middle Cove, with limits ranging from 40 to 60 km/h. As the only test route mapped at Chatswood Service Centre, it packs in a dense mix for North Shore traffic: 5 roundabouts, 9 sets of traffic signals, 8 right turns and 2 stop signs across just under 9 km.
Watch Out For
- Two stop signs require a full stop behind the line, not a roll through. Examiners watch these closely.
- Two 40 km/h school zones, one near High Street and one off Victoria Avenue, active on school days.
- A bike lane along Johnson Street, check before changing lanes or turning.
Route Features
- 5 roundabouts, including ones near Hercules Street. Give way to the right.
- 9 give-way signs and 9 traffic signals through the Chatswood commercial centre.
- One U-turn on Stanley Street.
Test Manoeuvres
- One kerbside stop (pullover) on Hercules Street. Signal, check mirrors and blind spot, park parallel and close to the kerb.
Key Tips
- In NSW signal left as you exit each roundabout.
- Drop to 40 well before each school zone marker.
- Plan the U-turn early: check the gap, signal, and complete it in one smooth movement.
