Roads You’ll Face During the Test

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

• Residential Streets: Areas like Manhattan Road offer a practical test of your ability to control speed, obey stop signs diligently, and stay aware of pedestrians and parked vehicles.
• City Driving Environments: On roads like Joyce Road, you’ll experience typical urban challenges like moderate traffic density, numerous intersections with crosswalks, and the requirement to perform safe lane changes.
• Arterial Road Challenges: While not always featuring highways, the driving test may take you onto I-80, a major road that functions like an expressway, testing your ability to merge and maintain higher speeds safely.
• Managed Intersections with Signals and Signs: On roads like Joyce Rd & US-52, expect to show proficiency in stopping at designated points, yielding to other road users, and interpreting traffic lights, including new flashing yellow arrows.
• Multiple-Lanes: The multi-lane stretch of Jefferson Street (US-52) near the Joliet Illinois 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.

Key Elements of the Behind-The-Wheel Test

Becoming comfortable with the different aspects of the road test will help on test day. You can practice several key tasks, including:

1. Starting and Stopping the Vehicle: You’ll need to smoothly start the car, merge into traffic, and stop without jerking. You may be tested on stopping at stop signs, crosswalks, and behind other vehicles.
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. Emergency Stops: In some cases, the examiner may ask you to perform an emergency stop or test how quickly and safely you can bring the car to a stop.
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.
