Macclesfield #2091 Pro
This 7.4 mile Macclesfield route runs about 25 minutes in one stage, heading north through Kingsfield Park and Tytherington into Prestbury, Mulberry Park, Bollington Cross and Bollington. Limits span 30 mph to 70 mph, one of only a handful of routes here that reach the 70 mph band, and 6 roundabouts plus 7 sets of traffic lights fit into a shorter drive than most routes at this office.
Watch Out For
- Seven right turns against oncoming traffic, against only three lefts.
- A pedestrian crossing in Bollington where people step out between parked cars.
- The 50 mph stretch north of town, where the limit rises then falls.
Route Features
- The Silk Road gives fast dual carriageway driving.
- Bollington Road narrows into village streets with parked cars.
- Six roundabouts, so give way to the right and signal left on exit.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the end of the drive.
Key Tips
- Reset speed and mirrors every time the limit drops from 70 back to 30.
- Plan position early, 7 of the 10 turns go right.
