Macclesfield #2098 Pro
At 8.7 miles and around 30 minutes in one stage, this route carries 12 roundabouts, more than any other route at this office, along with 13 sets of traffic lights. It links Kingsfield Park, Mulberry Park and Prestbury with Butley Town, Bollington Cross and Bollington, and the limits climb from 30 mph through 40 and 60 to 70 mph.
Watch Out For
- A school area with a reduced limit and children near the kerb at drop off times.
- Twelve roundabouts, several arriving one after another with little space between them.
- A roundabout immediately beside that school section.
Route Features
- The Silk Road supplies the 70 mph dual carriageway running.
- Bollington Road drops the pace to narrow 30 mph village streets.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the finish.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at every roundabout and signal left as you take the exit.
- Pick your lane before the roundabout entry, not while you are on it.
- Ease off well before the school section rather than braking on the limit change.
