Drive Character
This 26-mile drive is characterized as a 'turn-heavy local drive,' meaning you'll be navigating a good number of intersections and changes in direction. Only 23% of the route is on highways, so expect a more stop-and-go experience than a steady cruise. The longest continuous stretch you'll encounter is 3.3 miles on High Street. As you transition from High Street to Broadway and then onto US 1, the road will shift in feel, moving from more urban local streets to a busier arterial road.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 43 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
High Street is the longest continuous segment at about 3.3 miles.
How Hard Is This Drive?
Expect a hands-on drive with frequent turns and local roads rather than long highway stretches. This route has several spots where lane changes, forks, or exits need your full attention. The trickiest moment comes around 5.2 miles in near Veterans of Foreign Wars Parkway.
