The route means what you are primarily traveling along:
- Highway: A highway is a developed road used by many, especially for trade. Highways are well protected by highwaymen, and often have checkpoints or fees for those with cargo.
- Road: A road is somewhat developed, enough to be mostly flat and still be navigable by most vehicles. Roads are pretty safe and fast to travel along, and usually have no checkpoints or fees.
- Path: A path or footpath is not developed, it is simply a way that others have traveled before. Some paths may be navigable by vehicle, but generally very slowly.
- Trail: A patchwork of wildlife tracks and light vegetation. Easy enough to get through on foot, but a vehicle won't make it.
- Terrain: No set route. Usually made more difficult by thick vegetation, steep slopes, or other obstacles. Only traversable on foot, and very slowly.
The conditions includes weather and relative danger of the route:
- Good: Weather is fair and route is safe.
- Fair: Weather is fair and route is unsafe. Weather is poor and route is safe.
- Poor: Weather is poor and route is unsafe.
- Bad: Weather is very bad or route is dangerous.

The number notation in the tables above is "base distance (km)"/"added distance (km)". So if you were traveling on foot on a road in good conditions, the value given is "40 / 8". This means you could travel at least 40 km, plus an additional 8 km for each success rolled on an Explore roll.
For travel on foot, the distance traveled by a party is the lowest rolled value among party members, you can only travel as fast as the slowest member of your party, unless you want to leave them behind. The same is true for travel on horseback.
For travel in a vehicle, the distance traveled by a party is the value rolled by the character driving the vehicle, so characters with higher Exploration can cover greater distances with their whole party this way.
