Cheetham Hill (Manchester) #1779 Free
Route 1779 is a 7.3 mile single stage drive of about 30.1 minutes through Pendleton and Charlestown, one of only four routes at this test centre that include 40 mph limits alongside the usual 20 and 30 mph. It logs 13 sets of traffic lights, one roundabout and an even split of seven left and seven right turns.
Watch Out For
- A stop sign where the car must come to a complete halt before you look and go.
- A give way junction only moments away from it.
- A roundabout where priority goes to traffic from the right and you signal left on exit.
Route Features
- Broad Street carries fast multi lane traffic through Pendleton.
- Eccles Old Road takes the route west into wider suburban roads with side turnings.
- Two cycle lane sections need a nearside mirror check before turning.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect to pull up on the left and move away safely afterwards.
Key Tips
- Speed limits change three ways here, so read the repeater signs after every junction.
