What to expect on the roads this route covers

Poplar Street is the longest single stretch at 1.72 km. Frontier Avenue follows at 1.07 km. Unlike most road test routes in this project, this one stays entirely on local residential streets and never touches BC-16, the highway the office itself sits on. No confident on-route landmark was found near this particular route, so none is listed here rather than guessing.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into Poplar Street as the longest stretch. It runs 1.72 km, the single longest leg of the drive.
• Give Frontier Avenue its due as the second-longest leg. It covers 1.07 km on its own.
• Don't expect any highway driving. Despite the office sitting on BC-16, this particular route never joins it, staying entirely on local streets.
• Expect a right-leaning turn pattern. 7 of the 13 turns are rights.
• Watch for the short unnamed turn after Frontier Avenue. It's easy to anticipate a named street and miss this one.
