What to expect on the roads this route covers

Bear Mountain Boulevard, signed as CA-223, is the only road on this route classed above the town's ordinary streets, and the route crosses it three times as the loop winds out toward the edge of town and back. Sycamore Road is the longest single stretch at 2.03 miles, most of it past South Derby Street on the way out toward the rural roads west of Arvin. Malaga Road is short, just over a mile combined across its two segments, but slow: the route's own timing allots 19 minutes to that stretch alone, nearly half of the entire 43-minute drive, so expect a much slower pace out there than the mileage suggests. Two schools sit directly on the route: Haven Drive Middle School on the Haven Drive stretch and Arvin State Preschool on Walnut Drive, so watch for school-zone traffic and pedestrians at both.

Tips for this specific route

• Treat Bear Mountain Boulevard as the busiest part of your drive. It's the only road on this route classed above ordinary town streets, and you'll cross it three separate times over the course of the loop.
• Don't rush Malaga Road. It's barely over a mile combined across its two segments, but the route allots 19 minutes to it, nearly half of the full 43-minute drive, so expect a much slower pace than the distance alone suggests.
• Watch for school-zone traffic on Haven Drive and Walnut Drive. Haven Drive Middle School sits directly on the Haven Drive stretch and Arvin State Preschool on Walnut Drive, so expect extra pedestrians near both, especially around arrival and dismissal times.
• Settle into a steady pace on Sycamore Road. It's the longest single stretch on the route at 2.03 miles, out past South Derby Street toward the edge of town.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
