Route 1769 covers 5.6 miles in about 27.7 minutes as a single stage drive through Lower Broughton, Greengate and Strangeways. Limits stay between 20 and 30 mph throughout, keeping it slower than the routes here that reach 40 mph. It logs 11 sets of traffic lights, seven left and seven right turns, and no roundabouts.

Watch Out For

• A stop sign needing a complete halt behind the line before you edge forward for a view.
• A give way junction seconds later, so two priority decisions arrive together.
• Five cycle lane sections, so check the nearside mirror and blind spot before every left turn.
• A pedestrian crossing near the test centre end.

Route Features

• Bury New Road brings multi lane traffic with buses pulling in and out.
• Great Clowes Street and the Lower Broughton side streets are narrow with cars parked both sides.

Test Manoeuvres

• You will be asked to pull up on the left, so pick a spot clear of driveways and finish parallel to the kerb.

Key Tips

• Eleven signal junctions in under six miles means reading the lights early.
• The 20 mph streets need a genuine 20.
