What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route uses real interstate driving on I-15, both north and south, to loop through Pocatello. South 5th Avenue, the road nearest the office, carries this route's longest combined stretch attributed to a single named road at 3.00 miles across two crossings. But the I-15 ramp segments themselves, which Google Maps' turn-by-turn doesn't attach a street name to, add up to well over 6 miles of the route on their own, more distance than any named road, it's just split across several unnamed "take the ramp" instructions rather than counted under one name.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable holding speed on South 5th Avenue. Crossed twice, it's the longest named stretch at 3.00 miles combined.
• Practice merging onto and off of I-15. This route uses it heavily in both directions, even though the turn-by-turn doesn't total it under one name.
• This office keeps a 4-day week with longer hours. Open Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Fridays, by appointment.
