Understanding Road Types

Familiarizing yourself with the road types used during the test can help ease your nerves. In Quincy you’ll likely drive on several of the following road types:

• Residential Streets: On peaceful streets like North 25th Street, you’ll need to drive cautiously, adhere to stop signs, and keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing and cars parked on both sides.
• Urban Roadways: Near the test center, main roads such as Locust Street will test your ability to drive amidst moderate traffic, negotiate complex intersections, and make appropriate lane changes in a bustling environment.
• Major Arterial Roads: I-172, functioning similarly to a highway, may be part of your test to challenge your abilities in higher-speed driving and merging into fast-moving traffic streams.
• Managed Intersections with Signals and Signs: On roads like Locust St & North 24th St, expect to show proficiency in stopping at designated points, yielding to other road users, and interpreting traffic lights, including new flashing yellow arrows.
• Multi-Lane: The driving test may include sections of Broadway Street (IL-104) near Quincy SOS, challenging you to use lanes correctly, signal timely before switching lanes, and maintain appropriate speed, especially when merging onto or exiting from the road.

DMV Behind-the-Wheel Test Preparation

Test day will involve several critical driving skills that can be rehearsed beforehand, including:

1. Handling Start and Stop Movements: The test will assess your ability to start the vehicle smoothly, join traffic without causing disruption, and make controlled stops at necessary points like stop signs and intersections.
2. Turning with Precision: You’ll be evaluated on your ability to make smooth right and left turns, using signals as required, staying in your lane, and following the correct turning procedures.
3. Proper Lane Changing: You’ll be assessed on your ability to change lanes safely, requiring you to signal, use your mirrors, and check your blind spot before making the maneuver while keeping a steady 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. Roadside Stop and Re-entry: The test may require you to simulate an emergency stop by pulling over to the side of the road and then re-entering traffic safely.
