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DriveTest and the MTO do not publish official routes — the maps and steps below reflect roads commonly associated with tests at this Oshawa centre based on the local road network and test-taker reports. Study aid only.
Residential maneuvers on Bond St / side streets — smooth parallel park, deliberate 3-point turn.
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 (John St W → Simcoe St S → Park Rd S → Bond St W)
North on Simcoe St S to Hwy 401 — merge ramp, build to 100 km/h
Short highway run with lane changes; exit and return via surface roads
Key Skills to Practise
Hwy 401 merge (G only) — Simcoe St on-ramp; accelerate to 100 km/h before the merge point.
Highway lane changes — signal, check mirrors and blind spot, maintain speed throughout.
Off-ramp exit — move right well in advance; decelerate on the ramp only.
Is there parking at Midtown Mall for my G2 or G road test? +
Yes — free surface parking is available at Midtown Mall, 200 John St W. Arrive at least 15 minutes early; the examiner will inspect your vehicle in the lot before the test begins.
What is the hardest part of the Oshawa G2 road test? +
The posted 40 km/h zone right at the centre exit catches many test-takers who drift back to 50 km/h. Downtown streets near John St W and Simcoe St S also require careful pedestrian and cyclist awareness.
Does the Oshawa G road test use Hwy 401? +
The standard G test includes a highway segment via Simcoe St S to Hwy 401. As of late 2025 the G test is temporarily modified and highway driving is on hold — see the amber note in the G tab above for the current status.
What is the pass rate for the Oshawa DriveTest Centre? +
Reported pass rates are approximately G2 ~64% and G ~71% — both above the provincial average. These are unofficial figures from third-party sites and are not published by DriveTest or the MTO.
