Cheetham Hill (Manchester) #1774 Pro
Route 1774 is a 5.2 mile single stage drive of about 25.4 minutes through Higher Broughton, Lower Broughton and Cheetham Hill at 20 and 30 mph. With only seven sets of traffic lights it has the fewest signal junctions of any route at this test centre, and there are no roundabouts, so the work sits in six left and six right turns.
Watch Out For
- No stop signs or marked crossings are logged, so priority comes from reading side road junctions yourself.
- Residential streets where parked cars narrow the road to a single running lane.
- Twelve turns in five miles, which keeps mirror and signal routines almost continuous.
Route Features
- Bury New Road adds multi lane traffic and bus movements.
- Great Clowes Street and Lower Broughton Road carry through traffic past close set junctions.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect to pull up on the left at a safe, legal spot and rejoin the flow.
Key Tips
- Fewer lights means less waiting, so speed control on the 20 mph streets carries more weight.
