What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged with urban navigation rather than high-speed highway cruising. Because this route features zero highway driving, you will be navigating city streets for the entirety of the 6.8-mile span. The experience is defined by frequent turns and constant adjustments, which is a stark contrast to the monotonous, straight-line feel of an interstate. You will not encounter any long, uninterrupted stretches, as the road profile favors shorter segments through the city grid. Focus on your surroundings, as the character of the road changes frequently as you transition between these specific local thoroughfares.
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: 4.4 mi on South Broadway.
