Key Roads

Herring Road

This road often has high traffic volumes due to its proximity to Macquarie Shopping Centre and Macquarie University, so you should be prepared for frequent stop-start driving. Keep an eye out for buses pulling into and out of stops, manage your lane changes and handle the roundabouts near Waterloo Road confidently.


Waterloo Road

An important connector in the Macquarie Park business district, while this road is generally straight and easy to navigate, it has many roundabouts that will test your ability to give way correctly and anticipate other road users. Traffic conditions can fluctuate depending on the time of day, so be aware of merging vehicles and pedestrians crossing near Macquarie University Metro Station.


Coxs Road

A quieter suburban street that runs through North Ryde’s residential area, providing a good opportunity to practise adjusting to lower speed limits. You should focus on scanning for pedestrians near the Coxs Road Mall and handling intersections with smooth, controlled stops. Turning onto Blenheim Road requires patience and clear signaling, as visibility can sometimes be obstructed by parked cars.


Epping Road

A major route connecting Ryde, Lane Cove, and Epping, this road is an excellent test of a driver’s ability to merge confidently, maintain speed, and navigate lane changes at higher speeds. The transition from Balaclava Road onto Epping Road requires planning, as the intersection can be busy. If you're traveling during peak hours, you should expect heavier traffic and ensure you maintain a safe following distance.
