West Didsbury (Manchester) #1568 Pro
This 9.34 km drive covers about 26 minutes in one stage, winding through Fallowfield and Withington along Wilmslow Road and quieter residential streets, all within 20 to 30 mph limits. With 19 sets of traffic lights it is one of the more signal-heavy loops at this centre, yet it avoids the 40 and 50 mph roads seen on the Wythenshawe routes.
Watch Out For
- 19 sets of traffic lights mean frequent stop-start driving and box junctions.
- Two roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- A give-way junction and two marked bike lanes shared with cyclists.
Route Features
- Turns are balanced at seven left and six right.
- Mauldeth Road West and Barlow Moor Road link the side streets.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect a pull up on the left, then move off into a safe gap.
Key Tips
- Watch for cyclists at the bike lanes and check for the 20 mph drops near homes.
