What to expect on the roads this route covers

The ramp onto the Inland Island Highway is the longest stretch by far at 5.91 km, a genuine motorway merge classed alongside a proper exit at 46 toward Parksville. East Island Highway follows at 3.85 km combined. School District 69's board office sits directly on Jensen Avenue East, part of this route.

Tips for this specific route

• Prepare for a real highway merge and exit. The Inland Island Highway ramp and exit 46 are genuine motorway maneuvers, not a quiet primary road.
• Settle into that 5.91 km highway stretch. It's the longest single leg of the entire route.
• Recognize East Island Highway as the second-longest stretch. Across two legs it totals 3.85 km.
• Watch for the school board office on Jensen Avenue East. School District 69's building sits directly on it.
• Don't expect a lean either way on turns. This route splits exactly 5 left and 5 right.
