The Local Lowdown
What the City West Test Routes Are Like
City West is Perth’s inner-city test centre, and its routes reflect that. For example, you’ll face busy West Perth and Subiaco streets, multi-lane intersections, one-way sections, cyclists and constant traffic through Leederville, Northbridge and the CBD fringe. Consequently, it’s widely considered one of the more challenging metro centres. However, that’s exactly why practising on the actual test-area roads with a local instructor pays off so heavily here. In short, learners who know these roads walk in far more confident on test day.
