Route difficulty
More challenging than average, with several junctions or traffic-heavy stretches.
Key roads
- Gorman Street – Half a mile right through NC State's campus neighborhood, where student apartments line both sides. You'll share the road with college traffic and the Wolfline bus system, so stay alert for people using crosswalks and bikes appearing suddenly.
- Western Boulevard – This busy corridor connects NC State with I-440. The interchange has been upgraded to a diverging diamond design to keep things moving, so you'll need confident lane positioning as you progress through this mock route.
- Varsity Drive and Crest Road Loop – You'll now wind through narrow residential streets with parked cars reducing available space, so mind your lane position carefully. This section of the route includes several turns close together – "turn right onto Varsity Dr" then more direction changes shortly after around Greek Village.
- Avent Ferry Road – This well-traveled corridor links campus to shopping areas like the DMV's own Avent Ferry Shopping Center. Recent signal upgrades and pedestrian improvements mean clearer crosswalks and better-marked intersections, making this an ideal place to demonstrate good driving basics on decent roads.
