What to expect on the roads this route covers

More than half of this route runs on freeways: I-405 South briefly, then CA-90 West, the Marina Freeway, for 2.45 miles out toward Marina del Rey, and CA-90 East for 2.47 miles on the way back, both classed motorway. Sepulveda Boulevard is the longest surface-street stretch at 1.32 miles, and it's classed primary along with West Slauson Avenue and Culver Boulevard. Two schools sit directly on the Washington Boulevard stretches at the start and end of the route, Culver City Christian School and Branches Atelier Preschool, so expect school-zone traffic and pedestrians right where the route begins and ends.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable with extended freeway driving. More than half this route's mileage is on CA-90, the Marina Freeway, plus a short stretch of I-405, more freeway mileage than any other route in this area.
• Settle into a steady pace on Sepulveda Boulevard. It's the longest surface-street stretch on the route at 1.32 miles, and it's classed primary.
• Watch for school-zone traffic where this route starts and ends. Culver City Christian School and Branches Atelier Preschool both sit on the Washington Boulevard stretches at either end of the loop.
• Expect more right turns than left. Eight of this route's turns are rights.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
