Residential Streets: On peaceful streets like North King 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.
City Thoroughfares: Major roads such as West Main Street (IL-33) represent common urban environments close to the test center, requiring you to manage moderate traffic volumes, negotiate busy intersections, and execute safe lane changes.
Highways or Expressways: While highways aren’t always included in the test, IL-1 operates like a major arterial road where you will face higher speed limits and the need to merge into flowing traffic, skills that might be evaluated during your exam.

Tight-Space Turning: You’ll need to showcase your skills by performing a three-point or K-turn, turning the car around in a confined space with precision.
