What to expect on the roads this route covers

Paseo Padre Parkway is the longest stretch on this route at 1.22 miles and classed secondary. Decoto Road and Fremont Boulevard are both classed primary, and Thornton Avenue, signed as CA-84, appears twice in different directions, once near the start and again near the end. Dusterberry Way also repeats twice, bookending the route. Sparkle Montessori and Little Steps STEAM Preschool both sit directly on Fremont Boulevard, so expect childcare drop-off traffic on that stretch.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into a steady pace on Paseo Padre Parkway. It's the longest stretch on the route at 1.22 miles.
• Recognize Thornton Avenue and Dusterberry Way on your second pass. This route returns to both, in different directions, near the start and again near the end.
• Watch for childcare drop-off traffic on Fremont Boulevard. Sparkle Montessori and Little Steps STEAM Preschool both sit directly on this stretch.
• Expect slightly more left turns than right. Eight of this route's 14 turns are lefts.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
