This 8.6 mile drive takes about 33 minutes in one stage and works south west from Bollin Meadow through Ivy Meade, Ivy Farm and Weston out to Moss Houses and Gawsworth. Limits are 30, 40 and 60 mph. With 13 sets of traffic lights it is among the busiest routes at this office for signalled junctions, and 11 of its 19 turns are to the left.
Watch Out For
- Thirteen sets of lights, most of them in the first town section.
- Eleven left turns, many into narrow residential roads.
- Four roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
Route Features
- Chestergate handles the 30 mph town driving with frequent stops.
- Gawsworth Road opens out, then Dark Lane and Congleton Road take the route into 60 mph country driving.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left on the return leg.
Key Tips
- On the country lanes read the bends and keep a safe position for oncoming vehicles.
- Approach each set of lights ready to stop, since they come in quick succession.
