At 10.6 km and about 27 minutes in one stage, this route links Withington and Fallowfield along Wilmslow Road on roads rising to 40 mph, wider than the strict 20 to 30 mph loops nearby. Its 25 sets of traffic lights are the most of any route at this centre, so signal discipline is tested throughout.

Watch Out For

  • 25 sets of traffic lights, the busiest signalled route here.
  • Six give-way junctions and a school zone with a reduced limit and children about.
  • Seven marked bike lanes shared with cyclists.

Route Features

  • Nine left turns against just three right, favouring left-hand junctions.
  • Quieter links via Mauldeth Road West between the main roads.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Ease early for the school zone and the many give-way lines.
