Macclesfield #2094 Pro
A 8.3 mile route taking around 32 minutes in one stage, working south west from the test centre through Bollin Meadow, Ivy Meade and Ivy Farm out to Moss Houses and Gawsworth. Limits are 30, 40 and 60 mph. With 14 sets of traffic lights it is among the busiest routes at this office for junction control, and its 18 turns are weighted heavily to the left with 12 of them.
Watch Out For
- Twelve left turns, many of them into residential side streets with parked cars.
- Fourteen sets of lights, several close together in the town centre.
- Five roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
Route Features
- Chestergate and Chester Road carry the busy 30 mph town driving.
- Park Lane and Ivy Lane open out toward the 60 mph country section.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left close to the test centre.
Key Tips
- Signal in good time for the frequent left turns and check the nearside mirror.
- Approach each set of lights ready to stop rather than to filter through.
