Cheetham Hill (Manchester) #1781 Pro
This 9.2 mile route runs about 40 minutes in a single stage, heading west from the test centre through Lower Broughton and Charlestown into Pendleton. Limits range from 20 to 40 mph, with 13 sets of traffic lights, 13 right turns and 9 left turns. One of the longest routes here, and one of only four using 40 mph roads.
Watch Out For
- Pendleton Roundabout is the one roundabout on the route. Give way to the right, signal left on exit.
- Bury New Road is wide and busy, so settle lane choice early.
- A pedestrian crossing sits close to the start.
Route Features
- The western loop takes in Langworthy Road, Eccles Old Road and Broad Street in Salford.
- Right turns outnumber left turns, so most junctions cross oncoming traffic.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set on a quiet street near the centre. Finish parallel and close to the kerb.
Key Tips
- Build speed smoothly on the 40 mph sections, then ease off before the 30 mph limits.
- At 40 minutes this is a long drive, so pace observation on the quieter stretches.
