This 10.68 km route runs about 26 minutes in one stage through Wythenshawe and Northenden, rising to 50 mph. It is the higher-speed route with the fewest traffic lights, just thirteen, and only seven turns, so the emphasis sits on open-road speed rather than junction work.

Watch Out For

  • Ten 50 mph markers and seven 40 mph markers on the fast roads.
  • Two roundabouts giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
  • A school zone with a reduced limit and children nearby.
