West Glenoaks Boulevard is the longest stretch on this route at 1.71 miles. South Victory Boulevard is the only road on this route classed above secondary, briefly touching primary. School Danik and Spectrum Hospice both sit directly on West Glenoaks Boulevard, so expect a mix of school and hospice traffic on that stretch.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into a steady pace on West Glenoaks Boulevard. It's the longest stretch on the route at 1.71 miles.
• Watch for mixed school and hospice traffic on that same stretch. School Danik and Spectrum Hospice both sit directly on West Glenoaks Boulevard.
• Practice a conditional U-turn near the end of the route. The route includes a left U-turn at Grandview Avenue, "if permitted," a maneuver most routes in this area don't ask for.
• Don't expect a lopsided turn pattern. This route splits perfectly evenly, 3 left turns and 3 right, plus the U-turn.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
