A5103 road shield

The A5103 is a major road in England. It runs from Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester city centre to junction 3 of the M56 motorway and is one of Manchester's principal routes.

This short section is entirely single-carriageway: it runs in roughly a north-south direction from the junction of the A6 and A62 along Portland Street. It then shares a short section with the A34 (Oxford Street) running west until St Peter's Square. After St Peter's Square, it proceeds south-west along Lower Mosley Street, running past the G-MEX centre (formerly Manchester Central Station), and the Bridgewater Hall. It then turns south along Albion Street and Medlock Street (crossing the Rochdale Canal, the railway viaduct, and the River Medlock), where it meets the A57(M) Mancunian Way at a roundabout.

This section is entirely dual carriageway primary route leading in a southerly direction. The entire section is officially called Princess Road, but many locals refer to it as Princess Parkway (see below). This section predominantly has a 40 mph (64 km/h) speed limit.
