What to expect on the roads this route covers

City Park Avenue carries the officially-tallied longest stretch at just 1.01 miles, but this route includes far more real highway driving than that tally shows. A cluster of interstate ramps and merges, an I-610/I-10 South ramp, a keep-left onto I-10/Pontchartrain Expressway, an exit toward City Park Avenue/Metairie Road, an I-610 West ramp toward Baton Rouge (2.34 miles alone), and further keep-right merges toward Slidell and onto West End Boulevard, add up to 4.59 miles, over half this route's total distance, almost entirely uncredited to a named road. This is the largest proportional gap between the road tally and real driving distance confirmed anywhere in this catalog.

Tips for this specific route

• Don't rely on the road tally alone here. Over half this route's real distance is genuine interstate driving missing from a simple road-by-road count.
• Set aside real time to practice the I-610/I-10 interchange stretch on this route. It's the single largest piece of real driving here.
