Key roads
- Nations Ford Road – Serving as your primary route with multiple sections throughout this mock test, Nations Ford Road is a major north-south arterial connecting South Charlotte neighborhoods with commercial areas. Watch for steady traffic flow, multiple traffic signals, and movement between commercial and residential areas.
- South Boulevard / Lynx Blue Line Corridor – This busy commercial corridor connects I-485 to Uptown Charlotte through South End. Be alert for light rail crossings, stations like Arrowood Station nearby, pedestrians using public transit, and increased traffic around the shopping centers.
- East Westinghouse Boulevard – Your longest single-road section travels through Charlotte's Southwest industrial submarket running east-west between I-77 and I-485. Commerce Park's business park is located here so watch for trucks, industrial traffic, and other distractions. This section of the route requires confident driving with proper following distance from larger vehicles.
- Downs Road / Arrowood Area – Navigating through the Arrowood neighborhood, this area features the Hadley at Arrowood Station townhome community. Watch for residential traffic from the newer developments, pedestrians using the light rail station, and the move from the busy Westinghouse corridor back to this more residential area.
