The longest test at this centre, this 14 km route runs about 32 minutes in one stage across Wythenshawe, Gatley and Didsbury, ranging from 20 up to 50 mph. It also has the most roundabouts of any route here, five in total, so roundabout observation is central to the drive.

Watch Out For

  • Five roundabouts, each giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
  • Ten 50 mph markers and eight 40 mph markers on the fast carriageways.
  • Two school zones with reduced limits where children may cross.
