What kind of drive is this?

Prepare for a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you off the major interstates entirely. With a highway share of 0%, you won't experience any high-speed, long-distance stretches, meaning you should stay alert for frequent turns and local traffic patterns. The route maintains a consistent, localized feel from start to finish, lacking any long uninterrupted highway segments. Because the entire 12-mile journey is comprised of local roads, the drive requires more active steering and attention than a typical highway cruise. You will find that the road's personality is defined by its winding, local nature rather than the monotony of a straight-line interstate.

78% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
18 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 6 mi on Bronx River Parkway.
