A 5.9 mile route of roughly 28 minutes in a single stage, looping south from the test centre through NOMA and Collyhurst before returning to Cheetham Hill. Limits are 20 and 30 mph throughout. With 11 left turns and 11 right turns it asks for more direction changes than most routes here, yet only 9 sets of traffic lights, one of the lighter counts at this centre.

Watch Out For

  • A stop sign on the return leg needs a full stop with the wheels stationary, not a rolling check.
  • Two school areas sit on the route, one of them here, with a reduced limit and children about.
  • Marked cycle lanes run alongside the traffic, including at this point, so check the nearside before turning.

Route Features

  • Rochdale Road and Dalton Street carry the heaviest traffic on the loop.
  • Quieter residential streets around Collyhurst supply most of the turns.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Turns arrive quickly, so get mirror and signal done before each junction.
  • A pedestrian crossing near the start deserves an early look.
