Sale (Manchester) #543 Pro
This Sale route heads west along Washway Road to Woodhouse Lane, then south through residential streets to Manchester Road in Altrincham. It loops via Sinderland Road and Navigation Road, then returns east through Stockport Road and Brooklands Road. With 9 left turns, 7 right turns, 2 roundabouts, 15 traffic signals, and a 40 mph section, this is a compact route with plenty of junctions.
Watch Out For
Two U-turns near Manchester Road at a give way junction are awkward on the narrow road. A school zone on Washway Road drops to 20 mph during school hours. A 10 mph speed limit zone near a residential area needs careful observation. Crossway Road and surrounding streets are narrow with tight bends.
Route Features
Speeds stay between 30 and 40 mph, with brief slower zones near schools. Washway Road is a major road with shops, pedestrian crossings, and bus stops. Navigation Road near the Metrolink station has tram crossings. Lindsell Road and Fieldvale Road are quiet residential streets. The return along Brooklands Road is straightforward.
Test Manoeuvres
You will be asked to pull up on the left near Poplar Grove. Signal, check mirrors, and stop close to the kerb.
Key Tips
Watch for the school zone on Washway Road. The U-turns near Manchester Road are challenging because of parked cars. Practise them until smooth. The tram crossing near Navigation Road needs extra awareness. Stop behind the line and wait for the signals to clear.
