What to expect on the roads this route covers

No single road dominates this driving test route: the longest, Charlotte Street, covers just 1.48 miles across three crossings. East 27th Street is crossed five separate times, more than any other road on this route, though its combined distance is short. This route also includes an I 35 North ramp and an I 70 East ramp/exit sequence, both real highway driving not fully credited to a named road in the tally. At 36 minutes for just 8.39 miles, this is one of the slowest, most turn-dense routes in this catalog, reflecting downtown Kansas City's dense one-way grid.

Tips for this specific route

• Track East 27th Street closely. It's crossed five separate times on this downtown grid route.
• Don't rush through downtown. At 36 minutes for 8.39 miles, this route's dense one-way grid takes real time to navigate correctly.
• Nearly every named street on this route, Charlotte, Oak, Holmes, Main, Broadway, and Penn Valley, is classified secondary, not primary. Expect stop-and-go city blocks for most of this route, not through-traffic speed.
