Macclesfield #2096 Pro
Running 8.2 miles in about 28 minutes as one stage, this route heads north from Kingsfield Park through Tytherington and Mulberry Park to Prestbury, Butley Town, Bollington Cross and Bollington. Limits go from 30 mph up to 70 mph. It has just 4 sets of traffic lights, the fewest of the sixteen routes at this office, so the priority decisions come from its 7 roundabouts instead.
Watch Out For
- Seven roundabouts on a route with almost no traffic lights to break the flow.
- A pedestrian crossing in the Bollington section.
- The step from 70 mph running back down to 30 mph village streets.
Route Features
- The Silk Road provides the fast dual carriageway part of the drive.
- Tytherington Lane and Bollington Road are narrower with bends and parked cars.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left back near the test centre.
Key Tips
- At each roundabout give way to the right and signal left on the exit.
- Build speed properly when joining the dual carriageway rather than hesitating.
