Cheetham Hill (Manchester) #1770 Free
At 4.8 miles and roughly 20.6 minutes, route 1770 is the shortest test route at Cheetham Hill, yet it packs in 16 sets of traffic lights, more than most of the longer routes here. The single stage loop runs through Strangeways, NOMA, Collyhurst and Cheetham Hill with limits of 20 and 30 mph, seven left turns, six right turns and no roundabouts.
Watch Out For
- Four give way junctions where you must judge gaps in moving traffic rather than wait for a signal.
- Eight cycle lane sections, so mirror and blind spot checks matter on every left turn.
- A school area with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
- A pedestrian crossing close to the test centre.
Route Features
- Cheetham Hill Road carries heavy shopping traffic with parked vans.
- Rochdale Road brings faster multi lane city traffic.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect to pull up on the left and rejoin safely afterwards.
Key Tips
- Lights come thick and fast, so choose your lane early on the main roads.
