Local tips
The St. Catharines centre is in Bunting Square at 285 Bunting Road, in the same plaza as a driving school and a dental office, close to the Walmart Supercentre near Welland Avenue. Map data shows a free customer lot right outside, so park there and walk in. Bunting Road is a busy arterial: just south of the plaza it widens to five lanes at the Welland Avenue lights, and there is another signal at Roehampton Avenue just to the north. Practice lane changes and left turns at multi-lane signalized intersections before test day. The Queen Elizabeth Way has on- and off-ramps about a kilometre away at Dieppe Road and at Dunkirk Road and Grantham Avenue, so merging practice is worthwhile if you are going for your full G. DriveTest lists Monday-to-Saturday road test appointments here, while inside services are weekdays only.
