What kind of drive is this?

Expect a turn-heavy local drive rather than a straightforward highway cruise. Since the highway share is 0%, you should prepare for a more involved experience behind the wheel, navigating local roads rather than high-speed interstates. The absence of long, uninterrupted stretches means you will stay engaged with frequent turns and shifting road conditions throughout the 1 hour and 26-minute duration. This path lacks the monotony of a typical interstate commute, offering a more hands-on driving experience as you transition between the various local segments. Stay alert, as the winding nature of these roads requires your full attention compared to a standard highway haul.

91% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
28 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 27.6 mi on Central Jersey Expressway.
