Drive Character

Expect a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged behind the wheel from start to finish. Because this route involves zero highway driving, you won't be dealing with high-speed interstate monotony. Instead, the focus remains entirely on navigating local roads as you make your way toward your destination. The lack of long, uninterrupted stretches means you will experience a constant, evolving pace throughout the 22-minute duration. It is a strictly local experience that trades highway cruising for a more hands-on, turn-by-turn navigation style.

This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 11 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
