Tips for this specific route

• Get very familiar with US 31/Pelham Parkway. It totals 3.64 mi combined, over a third of the route.
• Practice the I-65 ramp and exit sequence carefully. The route merges onto the interstate then exits again at 242, a genuine highway interchange.
• Expect a slight right lean. 6 of the 11 turns are rights.
• Remember Shelby County runs three separate offices. Double-check you're heading to Pelham, not Columbiana or the 280 Service Center.
• Budget real time for the interstate merge. Traffic speeds pick up noticeably on I-65 compared to the surrounding county roads.
