What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy experience as you navigate this local route, as it contains zero highway mileage. Because you are sticking to surface streets, the drive requires constant attention to intersections and changing traffic patterns rather than the steady pace of an interstate.

You will find that the lack of highway segments keeps your speed consistent with local traffic flow throughout the entire 23-minute duration. It is a functional drive that demands steady focus rather than high-speed cruising.
Only 0% highway — the rest is turn-by-turn surface driving.
9 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 6.7 mi on Street Road.
