Cheetham Hill (Manchester) #1778 Pro
Route 1778 runs 6.9 miles in about 26 minutes as a single stage, linking Cheetham Hill with Collyhurst and Miles Platting. Speeds stay between 20 and 30 mph. Its 23 sets of traffic lights are one of the highest counts at this test centre, and with 13 turns inside a fairly short distance the junction work comes quickly.
Watch Out For
- Four school zone markers, with reduced limits and children near the kerb.
- Two cycle lane sections and one marked pedestrian crossing.
- One roundabout, where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
Route Features
- Seven left and six right turns across Cheetham Hill Road, Rochdale Road and Oldham Road.
- The eastern section includes Queens Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left, choosing a safe and legal spot and stopping parallel to the kerb.
Key Tips
- With 23 signalled junctions, read each light sequence early so you avoid late braking.
- Nothing here exceeds 30 mph, so gear choice matters more than acceleration.
