Explore Different Road Conditions

Confidence on test day comes from practicing on a variety of road types. While driving through Fairfield you’ll likely encounter one or more of the following road types:

• Residential Streets: Residential roads like Southeast 4th Street will test your capacity to drive at slower speeds, handle frequent stops, and watch out for pedestrians and vehicles parked along the street.
• City Thoroughfares: Major roads such as West Delaware Street represent common urban environments close to the test center, requiring you to manage moderate traffic volumes, negotiate busy intersections, and execute safe lane changes.
• Highways or Expressways: While highways aren’t always included in the test, IL-15 operates like a major arterial road where you will face higher speed limits and the need to merge into flowing traffic, skills that might be evaluated during your exam.
• Areas with Stop Signs and Traffic Lights: At busy junctions such as Market Ave & West Delaware St, you’ll need to demonstrate your ability to stop safely, yield when required, and navigate both standard and advanced traffic signals, including left-turn lanes.
• Multi-Lane Roads: US-45, close to the Fairfield SOS, is a multi-lane road where you must demonstrate proficiency in selecting the correct lane, using turn signals appropriately, and keeping a steady speed during lane transitions, including both left and right merges.

Behind-The-Wheel Test - Key Components

The road test challenges you in different areas of driving, all of which can be practiced ahead of time, including:

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. Staying Within Speed Limits: You’ll need to control your speed throughout the test, making sure to observe the posted limits and adapt to different road conditions when necessary.
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. Three-Point Turn Maneuver: During the test, you will need to show your ability to turn the vehicle in a confined area using a three-point turn or K-turn.
5. Handling Roadside Emergencies: You may be required to simulate an emergency stop by pulling to the side of the road, then safely merging back into traffic when appropriate.
