Road Guide

Airport Area Road Network

Simonsway & Ringway Road

Simonsway is a major dual carriageway connecting Wythenshawe to the airport terminals. It features multiple roundabouts, bus lanes, and traffic-light-controlled junctions that are excellent for developing advanced junction skills. Ringway Road connects to the quieter village of Ringway and provides a transition from dual carriageway to single-track country lanes, building your ability to adapt to different road types.

Shadowmoss Road & Styal Road

Shadowmoss Road runs through a residential area with a good mix of parked cars, mini-roundabouts, and 30mph zones. Styal Road connects the airport area to Styal village and features narrow sections, blind bends, and rural driving conditions. Together, they give you experience across every road type you might encounter on your test or in daily driving.

From the airport area, you can reach the Sale DVSA Test Centre via the A538 and A56 in approximately 15 minutes, or the West Didsbury centre via Palatine Road in about 20 minutes. We practise the routes to both centres during your lessons, giving you flexibility when booking your test.
