What to expect on the roads this route covers

International Boulevard, signed as CA-185, is the longest stretch on the route at 1.31 miles, and it alone takes about 8 minutes to drive, noticeably slower than the route's overall pace, a sign of heavy signal and bus-stop density rather than open road. 98th Avenue, International Boulevard, and Hegenberger Road are all classed primary, and Edes Avenue is used twice, once near the start and again near the end, for a combined 0.97 miles.

Tips for this specific route

• Budget extra time for International Boulevard. This 1.31-mile stretch alone takes about 8 minutes, noticeably slower than the rest of the route.
• Treat 98th Avenue, International Boulevard, and Hegenberger Road as the route's primary-classed backbone. All three carry a primary road classification.
• Expect a left-turn-dominant route. 7 of this route's 9 turns are lefts, the opposite pattern from most routes in this area.
• Recognize Edes Avenue at both ends of the drive. It's used near the start and again near the end, for a combined 0.97 miles.
• Don't be surprised by the full 21 minutes. Despite a modest 4.66-mile distance, the International Boulevard stretch alone accounts for a large share of that time.
