Drive Character
Expect a very different experience than a typical highway commute, as this route features zero percent highway driving. You will be navigating a turn-heavy local drive that relies on Lincoln Street, Connellsville Street, and Connellsville Road to get you to your destination. Because the longest stretch of road is effectively zero miles on Lincoln Street, you should prepare for constant maneuvering and frequent turns rather than long, straightaways. The road demands your full attention, making it a technical drive that keeps you engaged behind the wheel. It is a practical, ground-level look at the local landscape, defined by its persistent curves and winding path through the state.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 21 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
Lincoln Street is one of the defining roads on this drive.
