Buses must approach the Buffalo Creek Reserve roundabout from the north (southbound). The bus should pull onto the shoulder just before the roundabout and reserve entrance.

There is enough room for one articulated bus or two rigid buses. Two extra-long rigid buses are a tight fit. Two rigid buses will only fit if the front bus moves forward close to the roundabout and give way sign.

Bus parking

Buses must not enter Buffalo Creek Reserve. Day parking for buses is provided in Field of Mars Reserve on the opposite side of Pittwater Road.
