A high-traffic road that can get congested, especially during peak hours. As you navigate this stretch, be prepared for frequent stops at traffic lights and vehicles entering from side streets. The right turn onto S 10th Street can be tricky if cars are blocking visibility, so ease forward before committing to the turn.
A fast-moving, multi-lane road where you’ll need to confidently change lanes, merge, and maintain speed discipline. Traffic can be unpredictable here, with cars moving at different speeds, so always be prepared to adjust. If the road is busy, don’t feel pressured to change lanes quickly-wait for a safe gap.
Running through an industrial zone means you should expect large trucks, loading docks, and potential debris on the road. Unlike other roads on your route, this one requires extra awareness of slow-moving vehicles or sudden stops. Speed limits might be lower than other streets, so pay attention to signs.
As you approach the DMV, W Alma Avenue is one of the last roads you’ll drive on. This stretch has multiple turns leading back into the testing center, so focus on smooth steering, controlled braking, and precise lane positioning. When making your final turns, ensure you check your blind spots carefully-this is your last chance to leave a strong impression!
