Drive Character
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that demands your full attention rather than a monotonous interstate cruise. With zero percent of the route on an interstate highway, you will rely on navigating Hwy 98 East, Hardy Street, and West Front Street to reach your destination. The layout lacks long, uninterrupted highway stretches, meaning you will experience a constant flow of local road conditions. This lack of highway driving keeps the speed moderate and the environment varied as you navigate the turns. You will find that the road character remains consistent throughout the 54.2-mile distance, requiring you to stay engaged with the road rather than settling into a long-distance highway rhythm.
Most of the miles stay on highways, which makes pacing and fuel planning easier than turn-by-turn city driving.
There are about 15 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
US 98 is the longest continuous segment at about 50.7 miles.
How Hard Is This Drive?
