Types of Roads You’ll Face on the Test

Familiarizing yourself with the different types of roads used in test routes can help you feel more confident. During your Granite City test expect to encounter these road types:

• Residential Streets: Navigating through residential streets such as East 19th Street tests your skill in maintaining safe speeds, stopping completely at signs, and being alert to pedestrians and parked cars.
• Major Urban Streets: Navigating streets such as Edison Avenue near the test center will involve managing moderate traffic levels, adhering to traffic signals at intersections, and executing necessary lane changes.
• Highways or Expressways: I-270 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.
• Roads with Traffic Lights and Stop Signs: At intersections like on Edison Ave & Nameoki Rd, you will need to showcase your ability to stop safely, yield appropriately, and navigate through complex traffic signals, including left-turn arrows and pedestrian crossings.
• Multi-Lane Streets: Near the Granite City SOS, Madison Avenue presents a multi-lane environment where you’ll be evaluated on correct lane usage, proper signaling before lane changes, and maintaining consistent speed while merging or overtaking other vehicles.

DMV Behind-The-Wheel Test - What to Expect

On test day, you will be evaluated on various driving tasks that you can prepare for in advance, including:

1. Merging: Depending on the route, you might have to merge into traffic on a busier road or highway, maintaining speed and safely blending into the flow of traffic.
2. Following Speed Limits: During the test, you must consistently drive at the appropriate speed, adjusting to different road types and conditions while adhering to posted speed restrictions.
3. Executing a Lane Change: During the test, you’ll be expected to perform lane changes by signaling in advance, checking your mirrors, and looking over your shoulder, all without losing speed.
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. Controlled Reverse Maneuver: You’ll need to reverse for about 50 feet in a straight line, using over-the-shoulder checks rather than relying on mirrors alone.
