Drive Character
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Since this route maintains a 0% highway share, you will navigate through residential or local corridors rather than wide-open interstates. The personality of this drive is dictated by the constant need for navigation through local streets, so do not expect long, uninterrupted stretches of road. You will find that the lack of highway miles means your pace will be dictated by local traffic patterns and intersection density.

Expect a mix of faster highway mileage and slower local approaches near the beginning or end.
There are about 36 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
