Bury (Manchester) #2012 Free
This 11.4 mile route from Bury runs about 38 minutes as a single stage, covering Fernhill, Chesham, Ramsbottom, Shuttleworth, Edenfield and Stubbins. Posted limits range from 20 to 40 mph. It is the only reviewed route at this office so far, so its 15 sets of traffic signals and 22 turns set the local benchmark.
Watch Out For
Fifteen signal junctions inside 11.4 miles means repeated stopping and moving off. Turns split evenly, 11 left and 11 right, so signalling and observation come round constantly. The limit steps up to 40 mph on the northern section before dropping back, so read the signs again after each junction.
Route Features
- Named roads include Walmersley Road and Bolton Road North.
- One continuous stage, 38 minutes over 11.4 miles.
- Three posted limits: 20, 30 and 40 mph.
Test Manoeuvres
One manoeuvre point is set, a pull up on the left. Signal, stop parallel and close to the kerb, then check mirrors and the blind spot before moving away.
Key Tips
Slow early for the 20 mph sections and hold steady progress where 40 mph applies.
