Route difficulty
A steady route with a balanced mix of straightforward segments and trickier junctions.
Key roads
- US-290 Business (Austin St) – As the main spine through Hempstead, it can feel calm despite being a highway route. Treat it as a test of control, not a test of speed: watch closely for the reduced speed zones, any side street activity, and vehicles turning.
- 4th St → New Orleans St → 5th St – Where examiners often assess stop-sign behaviour. Expect frequent all-way stops and fairly limited sightlines, so come to full stops, pause briefly, and only move once you’ve clearly checked both directions.
- Rice St → Brazos St → Calvit St – These short residential streets form a tight grid, with quick direction changes. Accuracy matters more than pace here: signal early, keep your steering tidy, and avoid rolling through any junctions even if they appear empty.
- 10th St – One of the longer residential runs on this mock route, and the perfect place to show off good consist driving. Keep speed modest, give enough space to the parked cars, and watch for pedestrians as you prepare to rejoin the Business Highway.
