Interesting, winding route through the university forest. The road is of good quality. There's not a lot of traffic but buses use this road. If you want to go down the road, there are small speed bumps in the middle.... read more

Côte intéressante et sinueuse à travers la forêt de l'université. La route est de bonne qualité. Il n'y a pas énormément de traffic mais les bus empruntent cette route. Pour ceux qui veulent la descendre, il faut faire attention à de petits ralentisseurs situés au milieu.
