Roads You’ll Face During the Test

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

• Residential Streets: Quiet neighborhood avenues like West Lee Street will challenge you to drive cautiously, handle multiple stop signs smoothly, and remain attentive to pedestrians and parked cars on the roadside.
• Urban Arterial Roads: Near the testing site, main roads like Mitchell Drive will require you to navigate through city traffic, handle intersections that may include turn lanes, and perform lane changes in compliance with traffic regulations.
• Major Arterial Roads: Roads such as US-34 may be included in your test to simulate highway driving conditions, challenging you to manage higher speeds and execute merges into busy traffic effectively.
• Areas with Stop Signs and Traffic Lights: At busy junctions such as Mitchell Dr & US-34, 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.
• Major Multi-Lane Thoroughfares: On US-34 near the Plano 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.

DMV Behind-the-Wheel Test – What’s Involved

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

1. Highway Merging: If your test route includes highways or busier roads, you’ll be expected to merge safely by increasing your speed to match the flow and carefully entering traffic.
2. Observing Posted Speed Limits: The test will require you to maintain the correct speed at all times, adjusting as needed for different road environments and following speed limit signs.
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. 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. Backing Up Safely: During the test, you will be asked to reverse in a straight line for 50 feet, keeping your focus over your shoulder and not relying solely on mirrors.
