What It's Like to Drive Around Corona del Mar High School
Up on the Eastbluff plateau at 2101 Eastbluff Drive, this campus overlooks the bay and sits a short hop from Fashion Island and the big corridors that ring it — Jamboree Road, MacArthur Boulevard, and San Joaquin Hills Road. Eastbluff Drive itself loops calmly through the surrounding neighborhood, which makes it a settled place to begin, but the area's defining feature is those wide, fast arterials just beyond. We start on the Eastbluff loops, then build toward Jamboree and MacArthur before heading down to Pacific Coast Highway and the coast at Corona del Mar.
Intersections Our Instructors Focus On Near Corona del Mar High School
- Eastbluff Dr & Jamboree Rd — the corner where the quiet neighborhood meets a major arterial, perfect for learning to merge into faster, multi-lane flow
- Jamboree Rd & San Joaquin Hills Rd — a large landscaped crossing near Fashion Island, used to practice timing protected lefts at a high-volume signal
- MacArthur Blvd & San Joaquin Hills Rd — a wide business-district junction where drivers learn to manage multiple turn lanes and steady commuter traffic
- MacArthur Blvd & Pacific Coast Hwy — the descent to the coast, good for handling a downhill arterial that feeds onto the busy coast highway
