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DriveTest and the MTO do not publish official routes — the maps and steps below reflect roads commonly used near the Stratford centre based on the local road network and test-taker reports. Study aid only.
Lorne Ave E to Ontario St — urban corridor; signal-controlled intersection
Ontario St to Huron St — potential roundabout or one-way street segments; check street direction before turning
Erie St and residential streets — parallel park, 3-point turn, stop-sign compliance
Return via Lorne Ave E
Key Skills to Practise
Roundabouts — Stratford has several; yield to circulating traffic, signal your exit, do not stop inside.
One-way streets — confirm direction from street signs before turning; common in Stratford's downtown grid.
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 (Lorne Ave E → Ontario St → Huron St → Erie St)
On-ramp to Hwy 7/8 — quieter rural highway; build to highway speed on the merge ramp
Highway run with lane changes; exit and return via Lorne Ave E
Key Skills to Practise
Hwy 7/8 merge (G only) — a calmer rural highway than 400-series; still requires full acceleration to 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.
How do I handle the roundabouts near the Stratford DriveTest Centre? +
Yield to all traffic already in the circle before entering. Signal right when exiting. Do not stop inside the roundabout unless traffic forces you to. Stratford's downtown has roundabouts on likely test routes — practise these until entries and exits feel natural.
What is the hardest part of the Stratford road test route? +
The combination of roundabouts and one-way streets in downtown Stratford is where most people lose points. Study the one-way street grid around Ontario St and Erie St, and practise approaching roundabouts at the correct speed and lane position before your test day.
Does the Stratford G test use the highway? +
Yes — the standard G test at Stratford uses Hwy 7/8 for the highway segment. Hwy 7/8 is a quieter rural highway than 400-series routes but the merge technique is identical. As of late 2025 the highway component is temporarily suspended; verify the current format at drivetest.ca when you book.
Where do I park at the Stratford DriveTest Centre? +
The centre is at 59 Lorne Ave E, Unit 3. Arrive with your own vehicle for the road test. Street parking is available nearby on Lorne Ave and surrounding streets; allow extra time to find a spot.
