What to expect on the roads this route covers

Four different roads on this short route are classed primary: South Figueroa Street (used twice), West Jefferson Boulevard, South Vermont Avenue, and West Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, more primary-road density than most routes of this length. South Vermont Avenue is the longest single stretch at 1.02 miles. The route opens with a sharp-left maneuver onto Exposition Boulevard, right at the start. Alexander Science Center School sits directly on South Figueroa Street, so expect school-zone traffic on both passes.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into a steady pace on South Vermont Avenue. It's the longest stretch on the route at 1.02 miles and classed primary.
• Practice a sharp-left turn right at the start. This route calls out Exposition Boulevard specifically as a sharp turn, not a standard one.
• Watch for school-zone traffic on South Figueroa Street. Alexander Science Center School sits directly on this stretch, which the route crosses twice.
• Recognize the density of primary roads packed into 3.44 miles. Four separate roads here are classed primary, more concentrated than most short routes.
• Expect more left turns than right. Six of this route's 10 turns are lefts.
