Local tips
The Espanola centre is inside the Espanola Mall at 800 Centre Street, Unit 101D, the plaza with FreshCo, Dollarama and Hart. The nearest intersection is Centre Street and Queensway Avenue. The biggest thing to plan around is the schedule. This centre does not open every weekday. From May to October it opens Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. From November to April it opens only Thursday and Friday. On open days it closes for lunch from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. so if you need to sort out paperwork, avoid that hour. Centre Street here is Highway 6. Map data shows four lanes at 50 km/h, with a signalized entrance into the mall, so practice turning left across several lanes and merging smoothly. Other things nearby include the signals at Centre Street and Second Avenue and a railway level crossing on Syroid Street. Practice stopping and checking at those before test day. DriveTest also runs a part-time travel point in Little Current from this centre. The nearest full-time city centre is in Sudbury.
