My favorite memory of driving in this city is when I hauled my life away in a U-Haul truck, up North via the 14 Highway! Lancaster is a windy place, and I do not miss it at all!

Avenue G 'Musical Road'! - My favorite road to drive in Lancaster is 'musical road'. As far as I know, it is the only road in the United States that plays music when you drive your car over it. It is located on a local road called Avenue G, and if you're not paying attention it can surprise you, maybe even startle you. The mu ...

There are many bike lanes, so be wary of sharing the road with bicyclists. Also, as with a lot of southern California cities, there are roads that stop and then pick back up later.

My favorite memory from driving in the city is of the drives my older kids and I sometimes take in the area. We just head out in the car and drive on many of the outlying roads.

Rancho Vista or 50th Street - I can't exactly remember the street name, though we drive it often. It connects with neighboring west Palmdale. Part of it is at a high elevation so when you are driving, you have a beautiful view. It also goes past beautiful subdivisions. It's just a really pretty area to drive through.

Look at a Thomas Guide or use your cell phone's GPS. It is easy for newbies to get lost.

When I first moved to Lancaster, I was confused by the street naming convention which used letters with numbers (ex., L-5, J-20).

I will always remember that Sheriff's courtesy and helpfulness.

Sierra Hwy - It's a main road with few traffic lights and it goes right through town. It is easy to access most of the town off of this highway.
