Driving test routesSylvia Park (Mt Wellington)
There are at least two driving test routes used at Sylvia Park, Mt Wellington for the restricted licence test. The purpose of this article is not to disclose exactly the whereabouts of every intersection or roundabout etc. It is just to give you a rough idea of where you will be going.
Route 1stage 1 This starts at the VTNZ Sylvia Park car park. The driving takes place mainly around the Sylvia Park, Mt Wellington area. This is an urban/residential area so a 50 k speed limit applies. There are a couple of Stop signs to negotiate along Camp road / Walters road - where you may do the Parallel Park exercise. Thereafter you will encounter the Mt Wellington Highway roundabout. Stage 2 The route now becomes a bit more demanding with multi-laned roads, merge lanes and faster roads. There are some traffic lights to negotiate on Panama Rd then Carbine Rd. Then onto the South Eastern Highway where an 80k speed limit applies. This brings you on to Waipuna Rd which again becomes a 50k road so watch your speed! You will also have T intersections with flush medians and a couple of roundabouts to negotiate. Then you will work your way back to the VTNZ.
