What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route makes heavy use of the freeway system: it joins CA-54 West, merges onto I-5 North, exits toward Plaza Boulevard, loops through National City on the historic US-101 business route, then gets back on I-5 South before exiting again toward E Street, four separate ramp or exit maneuvers in total, more freeway transitions than any other route in this area. The I-5 North segment is the longest single stretch at 1.54 miles. 4th Avenue is the most-used street outside the freeway portion, appearing in three separate segments of the route. Given the number of freeway entries and exits packed into under 10 miles, treat merging and exiting as the core skill this route is built around.

Tips for this specific route

• Practice freeway merges and exits deliberately. This route uses four separate ramp or exit maneuvers, onto CA-54, onto I-5 North, off toward Plaza Boulevard, onto I-5 South, and off toward E Street, more transitions than any other route in this area.
• Settle into a steady pace on I-5 North. It's the longest single stretch on the route at 1.54 miles.
• Get comfortable with 4th Avenue. It appears in three separate segments of this route, so you'll be back on it more than once.
• Expect more right turns than left. Twelve of the 23 turns on this route are rights.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
