What to expect on the roads this route covers

Main Street dominates this short route, crossed three separate times for 1.29 km combined, over a third of the entire 3.66 km drive. McBride Centennial Elementary School sits directly on 3rd Avenue, part of this route. With 13 turns packed into well under 4 km, this is one of the most turn-dense short routes in this project.

Tips for this specific route

• Get familiar with Main Street reappearing. Crossed three separate times, it totals 1.29 km combined, over a third of the whole route.
• Slow your pace mentally for this one. With 13 turns in just 3.66 km, decisions come quickly.
• Watch for school traffic on 3rd Avenue. McBride Centennial Elementary School sits directly on it.
• Expect a slightly left-leaning turn pattern. 7 of the 13 turns are lefts.
• Watch for the short "continue" and "stay on" maneuvers on Columbia Street early in the route. They're easy to mistake for a missed turn.
