Route difficulty
Slightly easier than average, with mostly quiet streets and a few busier sections.
Key roads
- Smithfield St - The anchor of the route, appearing several times. It’s narrow, busy, and pretty unforgiving if you hesitate. Examiners will focus on your lane positioning, speed between lights, and whether you commit confidently when traffic moves.
- Liberty Ave - A wider downtown arterial introducing heavier traffic flow, and frequent signal changes. This section will test your anticipation: ease off early for the lights, watch for cross traffic, and avoid late braking in congestion.
- Wood St - A classic connector with some tight spacing between intersections. This section isn't about speed - it’s about precision. Demonstrate your smooth steering, clean turns, and awareness as you navigate pedestrians and buses.
- Boulevard of the Allies - Though short, it's an important road which will feel faster and more open. Your examiner will observe how quickly you adjust your driving to suit, before returning to the tighter downtown streets.
