Key roads
- N Charles St – Acting as the main entry and exit point for the SOS, it's a straightforward road, and examiners will focus on how smoothly and confidently you negotiate it. The usual mirror checks, clean signalling, and correct lane positioning matter here.
- Delta Ave – A short residential link testing your driving precision rather than progress. Though the distance is brief, but examiners will still expect precise steering, early signaling, and controlled braking.
- N Vicki Dr – This road runs through a quiet housing area where parked vehicles, driveway activity, and subtle bends make this section about observation and lane discipline.
- IL-121 / Pershing Rd – The most demanding section of the route. This short state-route segment tests your ability to adjust quickly to higher speeds, maintain precise lane control, and handle the reading of signage before you head back into the residential areas.
