What to expect on the roads this route covers

Hazelet Avenue and Egan Avenue nearly tie for the route's most-used roads, each crossed three separate times for 1.45 and 1.44 miles combined respectively, together accounting for well over 40 percent of the whole drive. With 26 turns packed into just 6.64 miles, this is one of the densest, most turn-heavy routes in this project's Alaska batch.

Tips for this specific route

• Get very familiar with both Hazelet Avenue and Egan Avenue. Each is crossed three times, and together they make up nearly half the route.
• Expect a left-leaning turn pattern. 15 of the 26 turns are lefts.
• Budget real time for this one. With 26 turns in under 7 miles, this rewards very careful attention to street signs.
• Remember this office tests Wednesdays only. Plan practice sessions well ahead of an actual appointment.
