Route difficulty

7/10

More challenging than average, with several junctions or traffic-heavy stretches.

Key roads

  • Hymeadow Dr – A longer residential road right as you turn out of the DMV, with gentle curves and steady local traffic. It's a great opportunity to settle into a smooth pace, staying centred in your lane, and showing awareness and patience as cars pull out from driveways and side streets.
  • Woodland Village Dr → Robin Ridge Ln → Old Stage Trail – Connected neighbourhood streets that come up in quick succession. You'll need to stay organised: signaling early, slowing before each turn, and avoiding rushing or any undue hesitation.
  • Firethorn Ln → Broken Shoe Trail → Millwright Pkwy – Accuracy matters more than speed on these neighborhood streets. Watch ahead as you navigate the parked cars, and be aware of limited visibility at bends and junctions.
  • Lake Creek Pkwy → N Hwy 183 (Research Blvd) – Transitioning you onto a major highway you'll need to plan ahead, checking your mirrors and position, and accelerating smoothly and confidently before joining the faster-moving traffic.
