What to expect on the roads this route covers

The CA-12 East ramp is the longest and fastest-moving stretch on this route at 1.85 miles, the only highway segment in an otherwise all-surface-street drive. Chadbourne Road is classed secondary and appears twice, along with Cordelia Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, and West Texas Street. Sheldon Academy of Innovative Learning and T.C. McDaniel Special Education both sit directly on Woolner Avenue, and Growing Hearts Early Learning Center sits on West Texas Street, so expect school and childcare traffic at two separate points on the drive.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable with the CA-12 ramp. It's the longest and fastest stretch on the route at 1.85 miles, the only highway segment on an otherwise surface-street drive.
• Recognize Chadbourne Road on your second pass. This route uses it twice, in different directions, along with Cordelia Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, and West Texas Street, all classed secondary.
• Watch for school and childcare traffic at two separate points. Sheldon Academy and T.C. McDaniel Special Education both sit on Woolner Avenue, and Growing Hearts Early Learning Center sits on West Texas Street.
• Expect more left turns than right. Eight of this route's 13 turns are lefts.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
