You should be prepared for frequent stops and turns as you transition between Mechanic, South Main, and Sharon Streets. This is a classic local transit experience that requires your full attention to street navigation rather than the monotony of long-distance highway cruising.
Only 0% highway — the rest is turn-by-turn surface driving.
