The longest West Didsbury route at 12.9 km. It heads south on Princess Parkway, deep into Wythenshawe and Benchill, loops through residential estates, then returns north via Sharston Interchange and Northenden. Nine left turns and 20 mph residential zones in Wythenshawe estates test slow-speed control.

Watch Out For

Benchill estate roads have speed humps and tight corners. School zones throughout Wythenshawe enforce 20 mph. The Sharston Interchange has multi-lane traffic merging at speed.

Route Features

50 mph on Princess Parkway, 40 mph on A560, extensive 20 mph zones in Benchill and Wythenshawe, 2 roundabouts, 11 traffic lights, bike lanes, school zones, and 22 waypoints.

Test Manoeuvres

Pull up on the left near Christie Way.

Key Tips

In Benchill, maintain 20 mph over the speed humps smoothly. On Woodhouse Lane, parked cars on both sides create single-track sections. The Princess Parkway northbound has a 30 mph zone that begins before the test centre exit.
