G2 & G Test Route Guide
DriveTest and the MTO do not publish official routes — the maps and steps below reflect roads commonly associated with tests at this Guelph centre based on the local road network and test-taker reports. Study aid only.
Exit lot onto Woodlawn Rd W (50–60 km/h) — moderate traffic, signal-controlled
Woodlawn Rd W to Silvercreek Pkwy N — residential/commercial mix
Woodlawn Rd W to Edinburgh Rd N — multi-lane, signal-heavy
Stone Rd W and Gordon St — multiple signal-controlled intersections; roundabouts in the area
Residential side streets — parallel park, 3-point turn, stop-sign compliance
Return via Woodlawn Rd W
Key Skills to Practise
Signal-heavy arterials — Woodlawn Rd W and Edinburgh Rd N have frequent lights; approach each at the correct speed.
Roundabouts — Guelph has many roundabouts; yield before entering, signal on exit.
Residential maneuvers — parallel park within 30 cm of the curb, 3-point turn within road width.
Note (late 2025): The G road test is temporarily modified and currently does not include highway driving at this centre. The highway section below describes the standard G test, for when it resumes.
Route Steps (surface roads + highway)
All G2 surface roads above (Woodlawn Rd W → Silvercreek Pkwy N → Edinburgh Rd N → Stone Rd W)
On-ramp to Hanlon Expressway (Hwy 6 / Hwy 7) — 70 km/h; build to expressway speed, smooth merge
Short expressway run; exit and return via Woodlawn Rd W
Key Skills to Practise
Hanlon Expressway merge (G only) — 70 km/h limit; accelerate to expressway speed before merging; same technique as 400-series but at lower speed.
Expressway lane changes — signal, mirrors, blind-spot check at 70 km/h.
Off-ramp exit — move right well in advance; decelerate on the ramp only.
