Route breakdown

• Turns: 21 total, 8 right and 13 left, plus three roundabouts
• Longest stretch: CA-20 ramp, 1.47 miles (used twice)

What to expect on the roads this route covers

This is the longest and most complex route in this area. CA-20, signed as the Golden Center Freeway and classed motorway, is used three separate times, the most repeat highway mileage of any route covered so far. The route also passes through three separate roundabouts, all exiting onto Sierra College Drive. Ghidotti Early College High School and Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital's Wound Care center both sit on Sierra College Drive, and Sonshine Preschool sits on Ridge Road, so expect a mix of school and medical traffic at several points on the drive.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable with CA-20 in multiple directions. This route uses the Golden Center Freeway three separate times, more repeat highway mileage than any other route in this area.
• Practice three separate roundabouts. Each one exits onto Sierra College Drive, a maneuver this route repeats more than any other covered so far.
• Watch for school and medical traffic on Sierra College Drive and Ridge Road. Ghidotti Early College High School and Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital's Wound Care center sit on the former, Sonshine Preschool on the latter.
• Confirm the office's open days before you go. This location runs on an alternating Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule, closed Tuesday and Thursday.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
