Drive Character
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged behind the wheel from start to finish. Since the highway share for this route is 0%, you won't experience the monotony of high-speed interstate travel. The path is defined by a series of local connectors, meaning there isn't a single long, uninterrupted stretch of road. Maneuvering through these local streets requires your full attention, as the route is characterized by constant turns rather than long, straightaways. It is a practical, ground-level way to travel that avoids the heavy traffic patterns often found on regional highways.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 33 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
Church Street is one of the defining roads on this drive.
