Kingston routes often feature the busy Princess Street commercial corridor, unpredictable university pedestrian traffic, and heavy transport trucks on the 401.
This location requires navigating a mix of historic, narrower residential streets and the fast-paced, retail-heavy corridors that run through the city.
Expect a high volume of pedestrians and cyclists. Kingston is a major university town, and vulnerable road users frequently cross outside of designated areas.
Failing to yield at pedestrian crossovers. Students miss the flashing lights or 'shark tooth' pavement markings and roll through while pedestrians are waiting.
Hesitant lane changes on Princess Street. The constant flow of retail traffic causes students to wait too long for a 'perfect' gap, disrupting the flow behind them.
Poor space management around transport trucks on the Highway 401 G test component, often following too closely or merging directly into their blind spots.
Scan the sidewalks, not just the road. University towns have unpredictable foot traffic; be prepared to stop for pedestrians stepping off the curb unexpectedly.
If you need to change lanes on a busy street, turn your signal on early to 'ask permission'. Local drivers are generally polite and will open a gap if you communicate.
When merging onto the 401, identify your gap early. If there is a transport truck in the right lane, adjust your speed on the ramp to merge safely behind it, never in front of it.
The examiners here are considered very fair, but they prioritize the safety of vulnerable road users (pedestrians/cyclists) above all else.
