G2 & G Test Route Guide
DriveTest and the MTO do not publish official routes — the maps and steps below reflect roads commonly used near the Sarnia centre based on the local road network and test-taker reports. Study aid only.
East on Exmouth St toward Murphy Rd — main arterial corridor with signal-controlled intersections
Right onto Lambton Mall Rd → right onto London Rd (Route 16) — busy commercial arterial
Residential streets near Indian Rd area — parallel park, 3-point turn, stop-sign compliance
Roundabouts noted in the Sarnia area — yield before entering, signal on exit
Key Skills to Practise
Roundabouts — Sarnia has several; yield to circulating traffic before entering, signal when exiting.
Exmouth St / London Rd arterial traffic — multi-lane corridor; hold speed, maintain lane discipline.
Residential maneuvers — parallel park within 30 cm, 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 (Lambton Mall Rd → Exmouth St → London Rd → residential)
On-ramp to Hwy 402 — merge ramp; build to highway speed; 402 is generally quieter than GTA 400-series highways
Short highway run with lane changes; exit and return via London Rd
Key Skills to Practise
Hwy 402 merge (G only) — accelerate fully on the on-ramp; match highway speed before merging.
Highway lane changes — signal, mirrors, blind-spot check, maintain speed.
Off-ramp exit — move right well in advance; decelerate on the ramp only.
Free parking is available in the Lambton Mall lot surrounding 1362 Lambton Mall Rd, Suite 5. Enter from the Exmouth St / Lambton Mall Rd side and look for DriveTest signage inside the mall complex.
What is the hardest part of the Sarnia G2 test? +
Sarnia has several roundabouts along Exmouth St and connecting roads. Many test-takers find multi-lane roundabout entry and exit tricky — yield to vehicles already in the circle, signal your exit, and do not stop inside the roundabout.
Does the Sarnia G test include highway driving (Hwy 402)? +
The standard G route near Sarnia typically uses Hwy 402 — a quieter highway than GTA corridors but still requires a 100 km/h merge. Note (late 2025): highway driving is temporarily suspended for G tests province-wide — verify when you book.
Are there roundabouts on the Sarnia DriveTest route? +
Yes — roundabouts are common near the Lambton Mall Rd and Exmouth St areas. Yield to circulating traffic, do not stop in the roundabout, signal before your exit, and keep your speed low through the circle.
