What to expect on the roads this route covers

Ramona Boulevard is the longest stretch on this route at 1.44 miles and classed primary, along with Valley Boulevard. Lower Azusa Road is classed secondary, and it's used in both directions for a combined 2.32 miles, more than any other road on this route. Two schools sit directly on the route: Thompson Elementary School on Maxson Road and Fernando R. Ledesma High School on Ramona Boulevard, so expect school-zone traffic at two separate points on the drive.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into a steady pace on Ramona Boulevard. It's the longest stretch on the route at 1.44 miles and classed primary, along with Valley Boulevard.
• Get comfortable with Lower Azusa Road in both directions. This route uses it twice for a combined 2.32 miles, more mileage than any other road on the route.
• Watch for school-zone traffic at two separate points. Thompson Elementary School sits on Maxson Road and Fernando R. Ledesma High School sits on Ramona Boulevard.
• Expect a heavily right-turn route. Eight of this route's 9 turns are rights, more one-sided than most routes in this area.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
