What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route spends most of its distance on state highways: CA-86 and the Brawley Bypass, signed as CA-78, are both classed as trunk roads, and together they account for more than 6 of the route's 9.32 miles, over two-thirds of the entire drive. The Brawley Bypass is the longest single stretch at 3.32 miles. An exit onto CA-111, Old Highway 111, breaks up the highway stretch before the route drops back onto city streets for the final leg. An elementary school sits directly on A Street, the route's last residential stretch before returning to North Western Avenue, so expect school-zone traffic and pedestrians there.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable on the highway early. CA-86 and the Brawley Bypass, both classed trunk roads, account for more than two-thirds of this route's total distance, more highway driving than most routes in this area.
• Practice a confident highway exit. The route leaves CA-78 via the CA-111/Old Highway 111 exit before dropping back onto city streets, so don't let the transition catch you off guard.
• Settle into a steady pace on the Brawley Bypass. It's the longest single stretch on the route at 3.32 miles.
• Watch for school-zone traffic on A Street. An elementary school sits directly on this stretch, the route's last residential leg before returning to North Western Avenue.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
