Driving Test Routes Silverwater

Holker Street

Running through an industrial and business precinct, large vehicles and trucks frequently enter and exit businesses along this road, so you should scan ahead for hazards and be prepared for sudden stops. Visibility at some intersections can be limited, so turning onto Shaft Street will require early signaling and a controlled approach.

Homebush Bay Drive / A3

Connecting Silverwater to Sydney Olympic Park, Rhodes, and Ryde, this section of the test route is ideal for practicing lane discipline, handling higher-speed traffic, and performing safe merges. You should be extra cautious when approaching the Arthur Street turn, as traffic can be heavy, and clear signaling is essential.

Railway Parade

Offering a mix of residential and commercial surroundings, the Cockthorpe Road roundabout can be busy, so you should plan your entry carefully and maintain a steady pace when exiting. Watch for pedestrians, as there are nearby train stations and local businesses that generate foot traffic.

Great Western Highway / Parramatta Road (A44)

As one of Sydney’s busiest arterial roads, this is an excellent place to demonstrate confident merging, lane discipline, and effective use of your mirrors. You need to be aware of bus lanes and intersections, particularly at Stubbs Street, where turning can be tricky if traffic is dense.
