What to expect on the roads this route covers

The Yellowhead Highway, signed YH 16 and classed a trunk road, dominates this route at 4.49 km combined across three visits. Pacific Street carries the second-longest single leg at 3.21 km. With 27 regular turns plus two bears, this is one of the most turn-dense routes in this entire project.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable holding highway speed on the Yellowhead Highway. Crossed three times, it totals 4.49 km combined.
• Settle into Pacific Street as the second-longest leg. It runs 3.21 km on its own.
• Slow your pace mentally for this one. With 27 turns in 18.12 km, decisions come quickly, especially through the residential blocks.
• Expect a left-leaning turn pattern. 16 of the 27 turns are lefts.
• Don't confuse the two bears for full turns. Both are gentle direction changes, not sharp turns.
