Drive Character
Expect a mix of driving styles as you transition from the suburbs toward the Hamptons. You will spend the vast majority of your time on Sunrise Highway, which accounts for a 46.3-mile stretch of your journey. With a highway share of only 2 percent, this is primarily a turn-heavy local drive that requires your full attention. As you move from the initial highway segments onto County Road 39 and Montauk Highway, the pace shifts from higher speeds to more localized traffic flow. It is a practical, functional route that demands a steady hand on the wheel rather than a relaxed cruise.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 13 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
Sunrise Highway is the longest continuous segment at about 46.3 miles.
