Practice Route 4

Practice Route 4 covers the roads, junctions and maneuvers around Dunkirk Road Test Site that learners commonly meet on test day. Examiners choose the exact route on the day, so there's no single official list — but practicing the local roads you're most likely to be sent down is one of the best ways to prepare and to settle test-day nerves.

Practice Route 4 is rated moderate (3/5). It's a balanced route — comfortable once you've got the basics, with enough variety to keep you on your toes.

It's about 14.1 km and takes roughly 33 min at a steady test pace. Leave a little extra for traffic and lights, and plan to drive it more than once — most learners find the route clicks into place by the second or third run.

Practice Route 4 is based around Dunkirk Road Test Site (525 Washington Avenue, Dunkirk, New York 14048) — the same neighborhood your test sets off from. Starting from there lets you practice the first few turns exactly as you'll meet them on the day.

Open Practice Route 4 in the Driving Routes app for hands-free, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation with CarPlay and Android Auto, so a learner driver can keep their eyes on the road while an instructor or supervising driver focuses on coaching.
