How to practise near St. Catharines

Road-test routes are not fixed. Examiners can change the route for traffic, construction or operational reasons. Use the area to practise adaptable skills instead of memorizing turns.

  • Leave the centre safely while checking traffic, pedestrians and your blind spot.
  • Practise speed transitions between parking lots, residential streets and larger roads.
  • Repeat lane changes, controlled stops and turns in several nearby areas.
  • For a G test, confirm which suitable highway or higher-speed roads are accessible locally.
  • Never block centre traffic, follow test vehicles or practise illegal manoeuvres.
