Key roads
- Old Youngstown Rd – This is the backbone of the route and appears several times. It’s a steady, semi-rural arterial where examiners focus on good, consistent driving skills (speed, observation, lane positioning etc), and whether you stay composed as the traffic flows.
- Harbor Edinburg Rd – A short, but important connector used to observe your judgement skills: changing speed smoothly, checking mirrors before turning, and not rushing just because the traffic thins out.
- US-422 (brief section) – Even though this section of the US-422 is short, it is important. The focus isn’t speed, but confidence: committing cleanly, staying in the correct lane, and showing you can drive confidently on a higher-speed road.
- Old Youngstown Rd (return section) – Rejoining the same main road tests driving consistency. Examiners will compare how you handle it the second time: signalling early, settling back into pace smoothly, and maintaining the same standard as your finish the route.
