William Street is part of Route 134, and the town centre around it is very walkable. There are about 28 pedestrian crossings within 800 metres, so scan both sidewalks and stop for anyone waiting to cross. A school is only about 190 metres away, with Académie Notre-Dame about 550 metres away, so watch for school zones. There's a railway level crossing about 640 metres away. Our 44.6 km practice route leaves on Renfrew Street (Route 134) and Darlington Drive, takes the exit toward Dalhousie Junction, and returns along Blair Malcolm Road and Route 134.

Dalhousie road test FAQ
What are the hours at Dalhousie?
Service New Brunswick lists: Mon–Fri 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Road tests by appointment. Offices close on statutory holidays, so check snb.ca before you go.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Service New Brunswick's Driver Examination Online Booking Service (linked from gnb.ca's Driver licence testing page), or call TeleServices at 1-888-762-8600 (Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.). The road test fee is $25 plus HST for each attempt, and you can take the test in English or French.
What do I need to bring?
A licensed driver with at least three years of experience and a valid Class 5 (or equivalent) licence to come with you, your valid learner's permit, a signed and valid vehicle registration, proof of valid insurance for the vehicle, your driving school certificate if you have one, and proof of payment for the test. Bring paper copies; only the proof of insurance can be digital. If anything is missing, you'll be turned away.
How long do I need my learner's licence first, and what if I fail?
New drivers take this road test to move from Class 7 Level 1 (learner) to Level 2. You must have held Level 1 for at least one year, or eight months if you completed a recognized driver education course (green certificate required). The wait is waived if you've been fully licensed before. If you don't pass, you book and pay for another attempt.
