What to expect on the roads this route covers

AL 18, running as Columbus Street on both sides of downtown, dominates this route at 3.27 mi combined. US 43/AL 171, signed 2nd Avenue Northeast, adds 2.21 mi combined across four separate visits. Fayette Elementary School sits directly on 2nd Avenue Northeast, part of this route. This is one of the most turn-dense and left-heavy routes in this project's Alabama batch.

Tips for this specific route

• Get very familiar with AL 18/Columbus Street. It totals 3.27 mi combined on both sides of downtown.
• Watch for school traffic on 2nd Avenue Northeast. Fayette Elementary School sits directly on it, and the route crosses this road four separate times.
• Expect near-constant left turns. 16 of the 24 turns are lefts, one of the most left-heavy routes in this project.
• Don't lose track of the numbered downtown grid. With repeated visits to similarly-named avenues and streets, this route rewards careful attention to street signs over memorized turn counts.
• Remember this office tests Tuesdays only. Plan practice sessions well ahead of an actual appointment.
