Joondalup #168 Pro
Detailed Description - Driving Test Route #168 at Joondalup Driver Assessment Centre
This route focuses on the Candlewood residential area north of Joondalup (often referred to as "Little Britain" due to the street names).
Speed Limit Traps: This is the most critical feature. Many roads (like Blue Mountain Dr and residential streets like Silkeborg Cr) appear wide but lack speed signs. This means the default limit is 50 km/h. Do not judge the speed limit by the width of the road.
Hilly Terrain: The route features significant gradients. Candidates must demonstrate good speed management—braking on downhills to avoid speeding and applying throttle on uphills to maintain momentum.
Comprehensive Manoeuvres:
- Main Roads: Includes lane changes on the busy Grand Blvd and performing right turns at traffic lights without green arrows.
- Parking: Includes a mandatory Reverse Park at the Candlewood Village Shopping Centre.
- Scenario Exercise: Features the "Left Something Behind" exercise in tight residential streets (like Silkeborg Cr or Piccadilly Cir), requiring a 3-point turn or using a driveway to turn around.
Real-world Adaptability: The residential areas often have obstructions. Candidates must show defensive driving skills by abandoning an unsafe maneuver and finding a better location further down the road.
