What to expect on the roads this route covers

Del Monte Avenue includes two separate conditional U-turns, one at Palo Verde Avenue and another at Casa Verde Way. The route also joins CA-1/Cabrillo Highway for a genuine 1.31-mile freeway stretch, entered via ramp and left at exit 403. Canyon del Rey Boulevard, signed CA-218, bookends the drive at both the start and the end. Action Math Baseball sits directly on Fremont Boulevard.

Tips for this specific route

• Practice two separate conditional U-turns on Del Monte Avenue. One at Palo Verde Avenue, another later at Casa Verde Way, both marked "if permitted."
• Get ready for a genuine CA-1/Cabrillo Highway freeway stretch. At 1.31 miles, the longest single segment, entered via ramp and left at exit 403.
• Recognize Canyon del Rey Boulevard, signed CA-218, bookending the drive. It's used at both the very start and the very end.
• Watch for youth-activity traffic on Fremont Boulevard. One of four roads on this route classed primary.
• Expect a left-leaning turn pattern. 7 of the 12 regular turns are lefts, and both conditional U-turns are lefts too.
