What to expect on the roads this route covers

Southwest Marine Drive carries the longest named leg at 5.00 km. West King Edward Avenue is crossed three separate times for 4.30 km combined, and the route briefly joins Granville Street, signed BC 99 and classed a trunk road, for 2.49 km. A long stretch through the UBC campus area (6.15 km) follows a roundabout exit and doesn't carry a single street name. Creative Kids Montessori sits directly on West King Edward Avenue, part of this route. At 52 minutes, this is one of the longest and most maneuver-dense routes in this entire project.

Tips for this specific route

• Settle into Southwest Marine Drive as the longest named stretch. It runs 5.00 km on its own.
• Get very familiar with West King Edward Avenue. Crossed three times, it totals 4.30 km combined.
• Watch for school traffic on West King Edward Avenue. Creative Kids Montessori sits directly on it.
• Practice both left U-turns ahead of time. Each is signed "if permitted," meaning you judge on the spot whether it's legal there.
• Budget real time for this one. At 52 minutes and three roundabouts, it's one of the longest and busiest routes in this entire project.
