What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged behind the wheel from start to finish. Since the highway share for this route is 0%, you won't experience the monotony of high-speed interstate travel. The path is defined by a series of local connectors, meaning there isn't a single long, uninterrupted stretch of road. Maneuvering through these local streets requires your full attention, as the route is characterized by constant turns rather than long, straightaways. It is a practical, ground-level way to travel that avoids the heavy traffic patterns often found on regional highways.
66% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
