What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy, local-focused experience rather than a high-speed interstate cruise. Since the highway share is 0%, you should prepare for constant maneuvering through local roads rather than long, uninterrupted stretches of pavement. The driving environment remains consistent throughout the 25.9 miles, requiring your full attention as you navigate local intersections. Because there are no major highway segments, the pace remains steady and technical rather than fast-moving. It is the type of route where you will want to stay alert behind the wheel as you navigate the frequent transitions between city streets and local thoroughfares.
76% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
23 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 8 mi on Belt Parkway.
