Route 1581 covers 12.28 km in around 32 minutes, one of the longest routes at this West Didsbury centre. It threads five areas, West Didsbury, Withington, Fallowfield, Fallowfield Triangle and Moss Side, all within 20 and 30 mph limits. Despite the distance it has no roundabouts, so the workload comes from 19 turns and 23 sets of traffic lights, among the busiest junction counts here.

Watch Out For

  • Two cycle lanes; check your nearside before every left turn and before pulling in.
  • Long queues likely on Princess Road and Wilmslow Road at the signals.

Route Features

  • Mixes main roads like Nell Lane and Wilbraham Road with tight residential streets around Moss Side.
  • Ten left and nine right turns keep the drive continuously active.
