Bakersfield DMV Driving Test Routes, CA

F Street

This is your chance to start strong so check your mirrors, signal clearly, and ease into traffic smoothly. Since you’ll soon be making a left onto 30th Street, get into the correct lane early and keep your speed steady. Be mindful that this road can have heavier traffic at peak hours.

Chester Avenue

After merging onto 30th Street, you’ll enter a traffic circle at Chester Avenue. Unlike a regular intersection, roundabouts require you to yield to traffic already inside before entering. Once you’re on Chester Avenue, be prepared since you’ll be turning onto 24th Street soon, keep an eye out for road signs and adjust your lane position in advance.

24th Street

One of the busiest roads on your route, with multiple lanes, traffic lights, and frequent stops. This is where your examiner will be watching how well you maintain your lane, react signals, and handle turns. Stay aware of pedestrians and merging vehicles as you prepare for your left turn onto Eye Street.

Golden State Frontage Avenue

As you transition onto Elm Street, it turns into Golden State Frontage Avenue, where you’ll need to adjust to a higher-speed road. If the examiner asks you to change lanes, do it carefully-signal early, check your mirrors, and only move when there’s a safe opening. Your final turn back onto F Street is coming up, so stay focused and finish well.
