Test Day: Navigating Road Types

A smooth driving test begins with knowing the roads. On your test in East Alton be prepared to handle several different types of roads, such as:

• Residential Streets: Quiet residential streets like North Prairie Street will challenge you to drive at reduced speeds, obey multiple stop signs, and stay alert for pedestrians, cyclists, and parked cars lining the road.
• City Driving Environments: On roads like West Airline Drive, you’ll experience typical urban challenges like moderate traffic density, numerous intersections with crosswalks, and the requirement to perform safe lane changes.
• Highways or Expressways: IL-140 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.
• Complex Traffic Signal Intersections: Navigating the junction of W Airline Dr & Prairie St involves demonstrating safe stopping at stop signs, yielding to cross traffic and pedestrians, and interpreting a variety of traffic lights, including timing your movements with synchronized signals.
• Multi-Lane Roadways: Testing on West Delmar Avenue involves navigating its multiple lanes near the Bethalto SOS, where you must use lanes appropriately, signal all movements, and sustain or modulate speed when merging or changing lanes in traffic.

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

The road test features several key components, all of which can be practiced before your test, such as:

1. Safe Merging: At certain points in your test, you’ll need to demonstrate the ability to merge into traffic, adjusting your speed to match surrounding vehicles and safely joining the traffic stream.
2. Turning Safely: You will need to make right and left turns using the appropriate signals, keeping within your lane, and ensuring you comply with all traffic regulations for turning.
3. Using Mirrors and Performing Shoulder Checks: Proper mirror use is essential during the test, and you’ll also be expected to glance over your shoulder when changing lanes or merging.
4. Quick and Safe Stopping: You might be required to carry out an emergency stop during the test, showing your ability to halt the car rapidly and without losing control.
5. Reversing in a Straight Line: You will need to back up for about 50 feet, ensuring you look over your shoulder and avoid using only mirrors to guide you.
