Route difficulty
More challenging than average, with several junctions or traffic-heavy stretches.
Key roads
- 19th St N - One of the first longer stretches after leaving the DLO, setting the tone for this mock drive. Traffic is usually steady, so focus on settling into the correct lane early, keeping a consistent speed, and checking your mirrors before the turn onto US-11.
- US-11 N / 9th Ave N - A busy main road with shops, frequent turning traffic, and vehicles slowing. Clear signalling, and steady lane control are important skills as you approach and leave major junctions.
- Dartmouth Ave - This road appears more than once in this sample route and includes longer residential stretches. It’s a good place to demonstrate consistency by holding a steady speed, and staying alert even when the road is quiet.
- 14th St → 4th Ave N → 18th St N - Bringing you back through town with close junctions and frequent turns. Read each one early, and take your time getting into position as you work back toward the test centre.
