Laveen is a growing part of Phoenix southwest of South Mountain, and since the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway opened along 59th Avenue in 2019 it has had a freeway right through the middle. We pick Laveen students up at home, at school or at work, free of charge. Lessons start on neighborhood streets, then add 51st Avenue, 59th Avenue, Baseline Road, Dobbins Road and the Loop 202. Lessons are 2.5 hours, which is enough time to practice freeway merges properly.
Why DVDS
Local coverage
We pick up from 85339 and nearby Phoenix, Tolleson, Ahwatukee, South Mountain.

Nearest MVD offices
City-specific driving tip
Use the whole Loop 202 on-ramp to match freeway speed, check your mirror and over your shoulder, then merge without slowing down. Around Baseline Road and 51st Avenue, school traffic builds fast in the morning and afternoon, so give yourself extra time and room.
