Route Challenges & Tips
1. Pukekohe East Road Roundabout (Step 5)
Challenge: This roundabout connects East Street to Pukekohe East Road heading out of town.
Tip: Remember to signal correctly when continuing straight (no signal on entry, left signal to exit). Watch for traffic coming from your right. This roundabout leads directly into higher-speed rural zones, so be prepared for the speed limit change shortly after.
2. Harrisville Road / Logan Road Rural Section (Steps 6-8)
Challenge: This is a rural high-speed zone which includes multiple speed changes and temporary speed signs. An instructor reported a student failed here for speeding.
Tip: Maintain appropriate following distance (4 seconds behind trucks/buses, especially uphill). Watch carefully for electronic variable speed signs and obey them immediately.
3. Seddon Street / Cape Hill Road Roundabout (Steps 21-22)
Challenge: A busy roundabout in Pukekohe's town centre with multiple exits. You'll approach via Seddon Street and need to continue straight onto Cape Hill Road. The area has high pedestrian activity and frequent queueing.
Tip: Select your lane early, signal appropriately for your exit, and be vigilant for pedestrians at nearby zebra crossings. The speed limit here is low (30-40km/h in town), so keep an eye on your speed.
