What to expect on the roads this route covers

Blue Ravine Road is the longest stretch on this route at 1.50 miles and classed secondary. East Bidwell Street and Folsom Boulevard are both classed primary, and Riley Street reappears three separate times in different directions, more repeat mileage on one street than any other route in this area. Sutter Middle School sits directly on East Bidwell Street, right at both the start and end of the route, so expect school-zone traffic at either end of the drive.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into a steady pace on Blue Ravine Road. It's the longest stretch on the route at 1.50 miles.
• Get used to seeing Riley Street three times. This route returns to it in three separate directions, more repetition on one street than any other route in this area.
• Watch for school-zone traffic at both ends of the drive. Sutter Middle School sits directly on East Bidwell Street, which the route touches near the start and again near the end.
• Expect a left-heavy route. 12 of this route's 18 turns are lefts, 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.
