DVSA: Parking near Sale driving test centre
Posted 26 August 2026 — Anyone
DVSA are asking all driving instructors and customers to be mindful of where they park around Sale (Manchester) driving test centre (DTC).
Instructors and customers should not park their vehicles across residents’ driveways at any time and should be considerate during lessons or when practising manoeuvres.
This is so that residents have access to their driveways at all times.
Where can we park on test day?
There is no car park at Sale DTC.
However, there is parking on the road directly outside the DTC for those who have a driving test booked.
There is a sign outside the DTC reminding customers not to arrive more than 5 minutes before a driving test appointment.
If there is no room to park outside the DTC, you can park in any non-permit zone on Poplar Grove, so long as you are not obstructing any driveways.
DVSA thank you for your support and understanding on this issue.
