Pass Plus Course in Levenshulme

Levenshulme, affectionately known as 'Levy', has become one of south Manchester's most dynamic neighbourhoods, famous for its Saturday Levy Market and increasingly vibrant food scene along Stockport Road.

Driving Challenges in Levenshulme

Stockport Road (A6) is one of the busiest arterial routes in south Manchester, carrying constant traffic with frequent bus stops that require careful overtaking. The numerous side road junctions along the A6 demand excellent observation as cars and pedestrians emerge from between parked vehicles. Speed cameras and bus lanes along Stockport Road catch out inattentive drivers.

Our Top Tips for Levenshulme Learners

Get comfortable with the stop-start flow of traffic on the A6 during lessons, as the bus stops and pedestrian crossings require patience and anticipation. Use the residential streets off Albert Road and Slade Lane for quiet manoeuvre practice before heading onto busier routes. Pay attention to the cycle lanes along Stockport Road and always check your left mirror before turning.
