What to expect on the roads this route covers

US 78, running as Bankhead Highway and Arkadelphia Road, dominates this route at 1.95 mi combined across several visits, classed a primary road. Avenue W adds 1.71 mi combined. This is one of the most maneuver-dense short routes in this project's Alabama batch, with a highway ramp, an exit, and a fork all packed into just over 7 miles.

Tips for this specific route

• Get very familiar with US 78/Bankhead Highway. Crossed several times under different names, it totals 1.95 mi combined.
• Practice the I-20 ramp and exit sequence carefully. The route merges onto I-20 then exits again shortly after, more interchange maneuvers than most short routes in this project.
• Get comfortable holding speed on Avenue W. It totals 1.71 mi combined.
• Expect a right-leaning turn pattern. 8 of the 15 turns are rights.
• Remember this office opens at 7 a.m. Earlier than most locations in this project, which typically start at 8 a.m.
