Understanding Road Types

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

• Residential Streets: Areas like Maple Street in residential zones challenge you to drive slowly, handle numerous stop signs, and stay attentive to pedestrians and parked cars along your route.
• Metropolitan Roads: Streets like South Westmore-Meyers Road, common near the test center, involve navigating city traffic, dealing with intersections controlled by traffic signals, and performing accurate lane changes.
• High-Speed Skill Evaluation: Inclusion of roads like I-355 in the test route offers a chance to demonstrate your competence in navigating higher speeds and merging, even if expressways aren’t featured.
• Stop Signs and Signal Light Navigation: At key intersections such as S Westmore Ave & Roosevelt Rd, you must demonstrate safe stopping techniques, yield to both vehicles and pedestrians, and navigate complex traffic signals, some of which may have sensor-based changes.
• Major Multi-Lane Thoroughfares: On Roosevelt Road (IL-38) near the Lombard SOS facility, you’ll need to demonstrate proper lane usage—including entering and exiting lanes—consistent signaling, and speed maintenance when changing lanes amidst other vehicles.

Behind-the-Wheel Road Test Guide

Mastering the components of the road test is key to passing. You can practice these tasks before your exam, including:

1. Merging into Traffic: Depending on the road or highway, you’ll need to smoothly merge, matching the speed of other vehicles and ensuring a safe transition into the traffic flow.
2. Right and Left Turns: On your test, you’ll be asked to make both right and left turns, signaling correctly, staying in your lane, and following the necessary traffic rules for safe turning.
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 in Tight Spaces: You’ll be assessed on your ability to make a three-point or K-turn to reverse direction in a limited amount of space.
5. Pulling Over Safely: You’ll need to demonstrate the ability to pull over to the roadside in case of an emergency and safely rejoin traffic when it’s clear.
