What to expect on the roads this route covers

Dogwood Drive dominates this route, crossed twice for 3.57 km combined, over a third of the entire drive. The route briefly joins the Trans-Canada Highway, classed a trunk road, for 1.81 km. A roundabout partway through takes the 3rd exit onto Symonds Street. With 19 regular turns plus a roundabout, a sharp right and two bear rights, this route asks for close attention to signage throughout downtown Ladysmith's grid of numbered avenues.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into Dogwood Drive as the longest stretch. Crossed twice, it totals 3.57 km combined.
• Treat the Trans-Canada Highway merge with full attention. It's a genuine trunk road, even though the stretch is brief.
• Count exits carefully at the roundabout. This route takes the 3rd exit onto Symonds Street, not the 1st or 2nd.
• Watch for the back-to-back bear rights near Davis Road. Two gentle direction changes land close together.
• Expect a heavily left-leaning turn pattern. 12 of the 19 regular turns are lefts.
