Macclesfield #2092 Free
Covering 7.5 miles in about 24 minutes, this single stage route is the quickest of the sixteen routes at Macclesfield, yet it still crosses Tytherington, Mulberry Park, Prestbury, Butley Town, Bollington and Bollington Cross. Limits run from 30 mph to 70 mph, with 5 roundabouts and 7 sets of traffic lights, so the pace changes constantly for a drive of this length.
Watch Out For
- Four pedestrian crossings, including this one in Bollington.
- Six right turns against three lefts, so most junctions need a gap in oncoming traffic.
- The 50 mph section heading north out of town.
Route Features
- The Silk Road carries the fast open running.
- Manchester Road and Bollington Road bring 30 mph village driving.
- Five roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left back near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Read the limit signs early, the route touches five different limits.
- Cover the brake through Bollington where crossings come in quick succession.
