May I add, try to find a few cones to assist in learning how to parallel park. This is a critical driving skill in Pittsburgh compared to other areas of the country.

You can practice parallel parking right at the driver testing centers where the barrels are set up.

One way dead end business road parallel the Parkway West, off of Mansfield Ave.
Looking on google maps.. Is that past a Hampton Inn making a right on Mansfield Avenue.?
Google doesn't have label for Trumbull Drive , but I see a place called Nalco and the address for it is in Trumbull Drive so I think that may be it..

You shouldn't take her out until she gets her permit.

You'd be amazed what dangers a new driver can get into even in an empty parking lot.

Exactly, the Hampton is at the beginning of Trumbull, and Trumbull parallels the I -376.

The Greentree Post Office is near the end of Trumbull right past the old David Weis store.

She used to drive in another country, but has not driven in 2 years, so she is rusty, but not completely starting from zero.

Took her to the park and drive parking lot. it was pretty good.
Got a cone, they only had one, and a couple of road sign triangles.. So I used those for her to practice parking.
