Driving Schools in Springfield Hub

Springfield, Illinois' state capital, offers a distinctly different driving environment from Chicago. Central Illinois combines small-city driving with rural highways and agricultural traffic. The region's flat terrain and grid roads make for easier learning, though winter conditions still apply.

Springfield driving schools serve state government workers, university students (U of I, Illinois State), and local families. I-55, I-72, and I-74 form the regional highway network. The Lincoln heritage tourism brings some seasonal traffic to Springfield specifically.

Illinois Secretary of State facilities throughout Central Illinois provide road testing.
