Expect a turn-heavy local drive rather than a monotonous interstate grind, as this route features zero percent highway travel. You will navigate using a combination of Pacific Avenue North, South Pacific Highway West, and Main Street. Because the route relies on local roads, your pace will likely fluctuate more than it would on a controlled-access expressway.
