Route difficulty
More challenging than average, with several junctions or traffic-heavy stretches.
Key roads
- Manila Ave – This avenue appears at the start and again later in the route, close to the DMV. It’s residential but can carry steady local traffic, so focus on performing clear signalling, mirror checks, and staying aware on both visits.
- Richmond St – Appearing several times, it's one of the longer roads on the route. Examiners will look for consistent lane positioning and controlled speed, especially where traffic joins from both sides.
- Potrero Ave → Navellier St → Avis Dr – Moving you through connected neighbourhoods with quick direction changes. Take your time navigating each turn, watch for any parked cars narrowing the road, and keep scanning for hazards.
- Eureka Ave → Liberty St → Central Ave – Gentle bends and a longer stretch along Liberty St. make this a useful part of the route to settle into a steady rhythm, finishing each turn cleanly before preparing for the next one.
