What kind of drive is this?
Prepare for a turn-heavy local drive that keeps your attention on the road rather than the highway. With a 0% highway share, you will be navigating surface streets like 52nd Street, 14th Avenue, and Church Avenue for the entirety of the trip.

Because this route relies entirely on local roads, the driving experience is defined by the rhythm of city and suburban traffic patterns. It is an ideal route for drivers who prefer active, hands-on navigation over the repetitive experience of high-speed interstate travel.
74% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
