Practice route around Rochdale
One of the practice routes we drive in Rochdale lessons. It starts off Moss Bridge Road, works straight into the big roundabouts on Sir Isaac Newton Way, then heads out through Milnrow and Smithy Bridge before coming back on Halifax Road and through the busier town-centre streets. It puts multi-lane roundabouts, lane discipline, faster A-road driving and slow town traffic into one run. This is an approximate map of roads we actually drive, not an official DVSA test route.
