What kind of drive is this?
This 47.7-mile trek is defined by a turn-heavy local drive rather than a monotonous interstate grind. With a highway share of 0%, you should prepare for constant maneuvering on local roads throughout the entire duration.

Expect a dynamic experience where the pace is dictated by local infrastructure rather than open highway cruising. Your time behind the wheel will feel active and engaged, as the lack of major highways keeps you off high-speed thoroughfares for the duration of the 56-minute trip.
74% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
24 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
