Handling Different Roads

Familiarizing yourself with the road types used during the test can help ease your nerves. In Aurora you’ll likely drive on several of the following road types:

• Residential Streets: Navigating through residential streets such as Woodlawn Avenue tests your skill in maintaining safe speeds, stopping completely at signs, and being alert to pedestrians and parked cars.
• City Avenues: Routes such as East Indian Trail Road exemplify urban streets near the test center, where managing moderate traffic, handling intersections, and executing lane changes are essential skills.
• Highways or Expressways: I-88 Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway acts as a stand-in for highways on some test routes, with its higher speeds and merging requirements offering a thorough assessment of your advanced driving skills.
• Intersections Requiring Stopping and Yielding: Places like Indian Trail Road & Lake Street (US-31) will test your ability to come to full stops, yield appropriately, and proceed through intersections controlled by various traffic signals and signs, ensuring safety and compliance.
• Multiple-Lanes: The multi-lane stretch of Farnsworth Avenue near the Aurora SOS facility requires you to exhibit proper lane discipline, effective use of turn signals, and the ability to maintain or adjust speed smoothly when changing lanes in moderate to heavy traffic.

DMV Behind-the-Wheel Test – What’s Involved

To ace your road test, you can prepare by practicing the various elements involved, such as:

1. Highway Merging: If your test route includes highways or busier roads, you’ll be expected to merge safely by increasing your speed to match the flow and carefully entering traffic.
2. Turning: You’ll be asked to make right and left turns, using the proper signals, staying within lanes, and following traffic rules for turns.
3. Performing a Lane Change: For a successful lane change, you’ll be required to signal, check mirrors, and glance over your shoulder to check blind spots, ensuring that you maintain the proper speed.
4. Turning with a Three-Point or K-Turn: You will be asked to demonstrate how to turn the vehicle around in a restricted area using a three-point or K-turn.
5. Backing Up: You’ll be required to back up in a straight line for about 50 feet, looking over your shoulder and avoiding reliance on mirrors alone.
