Premier's Strategies While Driving the Test Route
Right onto W. Macphail Road
- There will be several times that drivers will need to stop completely before the Stop Line and then pull forward to see better. A second stop is not required by law but might be necessary due to traffic.
Left onto S Atwood Road
- Even though drivers must turn left, still signal and check traffic. It is not necessary to stop.
- If something is blocking your lane, slow down first. It is ok to cross over the yellow line if the lane is blocked and if there is no oncoming traffic.
Right onto South Atwood Road
- On the approach, stay in the center of the lane. A staggered stop may be needed.
Continue Straight at the Light across Baltimore Pike
- As you approach follow the yellow line into the left lane. This lane is for turning left and continuing straight.
Left onto Boulton Street
- As you approach stop completely before the stop line. This is an “All Way” stop. The car that arrived first goes first or the car on the right goes first.
Straight on South Kelly Avenue
- This is an “All Way” stop.
Left onto Route 24
- As you approach, follow the yellow line into the left turn lane. If the light is red, stop before the stop line.

- Turn into the left lane on the new road.
Continue Straight at Light at Baltimore Pike and at Marketplace Drive
- The examiner may ask you to complete a lane change to the right and then back to the left.
Left onto W Macphail Road
