What to expect on the roads this route covers

East Covell Boulevard is the longest single stretch on this route at 2.11 miles and the only road classed primary, well above the secondary and tertiary streets that make up the rest of the drive. Alhambra Drive and Pole Line Road are both classed secondary, and Lillard Drive carries a mixed secondary/tertiary classification for its 1.01-mile stretch. Da Vinci Charter Academy, along with the Children's Center and Valley Oak Preschool sharing the same address, sits directly on East 8th Street, one of the route's early stretches, so expect school and childcare traffic there.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into a steady pace on East Covell Boulevard. It's the longest stretch on the route at 2.11 miles and the only road classed primary.
• Treat Alhambra Drive and Pole Line Road as secondary-road driving. Both carry a secondary classification, a step down from East Covell Boulevard but busier than the tertiary streets nearby.
• Watch for school and childcare traffic on East 8th Street. Da Vinci Charter Academy, the Children's Center, and Valley Oak Preschool all share an address directly on this stretch.
• Expect slightly more right turns than left. Seven of this route's 13 turns are rights.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
