Tips for this specific route

• Keep track of 17th Avenue West. This route crosses it four separate times, more than any other road on the route.
• Practice the U-turn on Cortez Road West. It's a left U-turn at 34th Street West, only permitted where marked.
• Watch for the keep-left and keep-right maneuvers near the finish. Both come in the last mile, back to back with several other turns.
• The turn pattern is perfectly balanced. 6 lefts and 6 rights, so don't expect a consistent lean to rely on.
• Arrive early. This office requires driver license customers to be seated with an associate by 4:30 p.m. due to how long transactions take.
