Roads You’ll Face During the Test

A smooth driving test begins with knowing the roads. On your test in Springfield be prepared to handle several different types of roads, such as:

• Residential Streets: Driving through quiet neighborhoods, for example, South Groth Street, will assess your skill in maintaining appropriate speeds, stopping fully at signs, and being mindful of pedestrians and parked cars.
• Urban Traffic Routes: Near the testing location, roads like South Dirksen Parkway challenge you with city driving scenarios, including moderate traffic flow, various intersections, and the necessity for proper lane changing techniques.
• Highways or Expressways: While highways aren’t always included in the test, I-72 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.
• Signal-Controlled Intersections: Navigating junctions such as on S Dirksen Pkwy & Stevenson Dr requires demonstrating proficiency in stopping at red lights, yielding to oncoming traffic when turning, and interpreting multiple signal phases.
• Multi-Lane Roads: Stevenson Drive, close to the Springfield Dirksen SOS, is a multi-lane road where you must demonstrate proficiency in selecting the correct lane, using turn signals appropriately, and keeping a steady speed during lane transitions, including both left and right merges.

Key Elements of the Behind-The-Wheel Test

To succeed on your road test, you’ll need to master a range of skills. You can practice these key elements, including:

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. Proper Turn Execution: You’ll be tested on your ability to make accurate right and left turns, using turn signals properly, staying within your lane, and following the rules of the road.
3. Mirror Use and Shoulder Checks: You’re expected to use your mirrors throughout the test and perform shoulder checks when merging or switching lanes to ensure safety.
4. Demonstrating an Emergency Stop: The test may involve an emergency stop, where you’ll need to react quickly and safely bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
5. Roadside Safety: You may be required to pull over to the side of the road, simulating a breakdown or other emergency, and then re-enter traffic safely.
