Types of Roads You’ll Face on the Test

Success in your driving test often depends on understanding the road types you’ll drive on. In Paris the following roads are commonly featured in the test routes:

• Residential Streets: Navigating neighborhood roads such as Clinton Road tests your ability to maintain lower speeds, handle frequent stop signs, and be vigilant for children playing and vehicles parked along the curb.
• Urban Commuter Routes: Roads like Grandview Street require you to handle the dynamics of city driving, including moderate traffic flow, frequent intersections, and effective lane changing maneuvers.
• Highways or Expressways: US-150 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 Intersections with Signals and Signs: At busy crossings like on Grandview St & East Court St (US-150), you’ll be expected to safely stop at stop signs, yield when necessary, and adeptly manage traffic lights, including handling yellow lights and protected turns.
• Multiple-Lanes: The multi-lane stretch of US-150 near the Paris 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

The driving exam covers multiple critical areas of driving that can be rehearsed beforehand, such as:

1. Start, Merge, and Stop Skills: The examiner will check your ability to start the car gently, merge into traffic without hesitation, and come to a full stop at the appropriate places like stop signs or crosswalks without abrupt halts.
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. Mirror Awareness and Blind Spot Checks: Throughout the exam, you’ll need to demonstrate proper mirror usage and turn to check blind spots when merging or changing lanes.
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. 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.
