What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive rather than a mindless cruise down an open highway. With a highway share of 0%, you should prepare for a route defined by local intersections and consistent maneuvering through residential or suburban pockets. The character of the road demands your full attention, as it lacks the long, uninterrupted stretches found on typical interstate travel. As you progress through these local arteries, the pace remains steady but requires active navigation through turns. This is a practical, utilitarian drive that keeps you engaged behind the wheel from start to finish.
47% highway, the rest on surface roads — varied driving throughout.
10 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 24.7 mi on I 80.
