Cheetham Hill (Manchester) #1790 Free
At 5.4 miles and roughly 24.1 minutes, this single stage route stays inside Cheetham Hill from start to finish rather than crossing into Salford like several other routes here. Limits are 20 mph and 30 mph throughout, there are no roundabouts, and the 12 sets of traffic lights make it lighter on signals than many routes here. Turns are evenly split, eight left and eight right.
Watch Out For
- A school area where the limit drops and children may step off the kerb.
- A pedestrian crossing on the approach back to the test centre.
- Tight residential turns around Carisbrook Street, part of the 16 turns packed into this route.
Route Features
- Residential grid driving with frequent junction choices, 16 turns in 24 minutes.
- Wider approaches around Crescent Road.
- Longer straight sections on Great Cheetham Street East.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at the marked point, then move off with a full blind spot check.
Key Tips
- Because everything sits in 20 mph and 30 mph streets, speed control matters more than gear choice.
