Common Road Types During Your Test

Familiarizing yourself with the different types of roads used in test routes can help you feel more confident. During your Springfield test expect to encounter these road types:

• Residential Streets: Areas like East Edwards Street offer a practical test of your ability to control speed, obey stop signs diligently, and stay aware of pedestrians and parked vehicles.
• Urban Arterial Roads: Near the testing site, main roads like South 2nd Street will require you to navigate through city traffic, handle intersections that may include turn lanes, and perform lane changes in compliance with traffic regulations.
• Highways or Expressways: While highways aren’t always included in the test, I-55 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.
• Complex Traffic Signal Intersections: Navigating the junction of S 2nd St & East Cook St involves demonstrating safe stopping at stop signs, yielding to cross traffic and pedestrians, and interpreting a variety of traffic lights, including timing your movements with synchronized signals.
• Multi-Lane Roadways: Testing on South Grand Avenue involves navigating its multiple lanes near the Springfield Howlett SOS, where you must use lanes appropriately, signal all movements, and sustain or modulate speed when merging or changing lanes in traffic.

Key Elements of the Behind-The-Wheel Test

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

1. Merging: Depending on the route, you might have to merge into traffic on a busier road or highway, maintaining speed and safely blending into the flow of traffic.
2. Observing Speed Limits: You’ll need to maintain the correct speed throughout the test, adjusting for different road types and conditions, and observing posted speed limits.
3. Safe Lane Changes: Changing lanes safely is crucial for the test. You’ll need to signal, check your mirrors, and glance over your shoulder before moving over, all while maintaining your speed.
4. Sudden Stop Practice: You might be asked to perform an emergency stop during your test, which evaluates how quickly and effectively you can halt the vehicle in a critical situation.
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.
