What kind of drive is this?
This trip is best described as a turn-heavy local drive that demands your full attention behind the wheel. While roughly 19% of the route is comprised of highway driving, the experience is defined by shifting between suburban thoroughfares and the faster flow of the Atlanta Bypass. You can expect your longest stretch of uninterrupted driving to be a 10-mile segment on the Perimeter. Because the route transitions from dense local corridors to highway speeds, the personality of the road changes frequently. Keep your hands on the wheel and stay alert, as the mix of local turns and highway merging keeps the pace dynamic.
Only 19% highway — the rest is turn-by-turn surface driving.
20 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
