DC DMV Road Skills Test New Deanwood Test Center

  • Exploring the Deadwood DMV Test Routes. The typical route seems to exit the rear gate of DMV to Olive Street NE, turn right on Eastern Avenue, turn right on Minnesota Ave, turn left on Quarles St, which merges onto 49th St NE, turn right onto Sheriff Road NE, turn right on Nannie Helen Burroughs Ave, then right again on Kenilworth Ave NE (the frontage road) back to the testing center. There are several parallel parking spaces in the DMV parking lot that appear to be used to test that skill.

      Do they make you parallel park outside parking lot or they have a space in the parking to parallel park?

    I took my road test yesterday and passed with flying colors. They will make you parallel park first, then you will go out on the road, which is literally about 2 blocks (2-5 mins of driving) and then you are done. Be confident, and follow the road signs, use your signals. I used the video “DC DMV PARALLEL PARKING” to help learn the method to parking. GOOD LUCK, YOU GOT THIS !

    Took and passed test today first try. Easy. Parallel parking space is huge. Just make sure you roll all the way back to the curb, it’s a very deep spot. Also I used a DMV vehicle and surprisingly they do let you use those backup cameras while doing parallel parking. So just focus on being straight and close to the curb, and of course, not hitting the cones which is instant fail.
    Stay calm, use signals for every maneuver, check mirrors and over shoulder, try to stick to your lane when doing those tight turns in this neighborhood.

    Had to use a third party plus pay for the DL applicant fee ($187) but, just took my road test today and passed. This is probably 1 out of X amount of routes that they'll take you on at the center. Instead of making a right on Eastern Ave, I had to make a left. Parallel parking is the first task you'll have to do at the DMV center if it's not crowded. If you know how to turn, use your mirrors, know when to brake, watch your surroundings, and pay attention you will pass. Good luck and relax to those that haven't receive their DL yet and are reading this.
