Recorded Van Nuys DMV driving test routes
Are these the official Van Nuys DMV driving test routes?
No — and no one has those. The DMV withdrew its published test routes, so there is no current map of the route you will be given. Examiners at Van Nuys DMV work from a pool of routes over the surrounding roads and choose on the day. The 12 routes on this page are real GPS traces recorded on tests at this test center, which is the closest honest substitute: they show the roads examiners actually use.
