Just spoke to my son, I think he got his license 2013? He said he did go on the highway, 6 East. Took a right and made his way through the back roads. He did his parking behind the DMV area. He also said he remembers having to drive down Main St. The lanes change quickly from left only, straight, to right only. My youngest son also went on the highway in 2016, different area. He ended up driving in a snow squall. Drive as much as you can anywhere you can.
