Route difficulty
More challenging than average, with several junctions or traffic-heavy stretches.
Key roads
- East Freeway Service Rd (I-10) – This section is a frontage-road test... where traffic enters and exits constantly, speeds fluctuate, and turns can appear quickly. Stay patient as you drive, hold your lane, and prepare for the upcoming turn.
- Mercury Dr → Dacus Dr → Oswego St – This transition pulls you straight off a busy service road into older industrial streets. Make the speed change smooth, check your mirrors before every turn, and expect poor visibility from parked vehicles on the corners.
- Market St – Short, busy, and easy to underestimate. Examiners will always watch for full stops, late signalling, and rushed turns so drive calmly and confidently.
- Flint St → Pillot St → Kerbey St → Wiggins St – A tight industrial grid with some uneven surfaces and areas with few road markings. Accuracy will matter here: complete each of your stops fully, steer in a controlled manner, and don’t assume cross streets are clear just because the traffic is light.
