Rules for all Redway users
* The Redways
are for use by pedestrian and cyclists of all ages and levels of
experience, including people with prams, pushchairs and those in
wheelchairs.
* All motor vehicles - including mopeds and
motorcycles are prohibited by law from using Redways with the exception
of authorised vehicles, eg. Emergency and maintenance vehicles.
Drivers of such vehicles must drive with care and use flashing beacons
when available and give way to other Redway users.
* When a Redway crosses a road, the road user
has priority over the Redway user. Redway users must give way to
road users.
* Users of Redways must be able to be seen
at night. Cyclists should use lights and all users should carry
or wear something light coloured or reflective.
* Dogs should not foul the Redway and should
be kept on a short lead to prevent entangling.
Rules for cyclists
* Cyclists should take due care when approaching pedestrians,
persons with prams, pushchairs and wheelchair users. Cyclists should
use a bell or other form of audible warning to indicate their approach.
* Cyclists should keep to the left as if cycling on a road.
* Cyclists should ride not more than two abreast and remember
to slow down at bends, give way at junctions and ride their cycles
so as not to endanger themselves or other Redway users.
* Please ensure that your cycle is well maintained.
Rules for pedestrians
* Pedestrians should keep to the right as you would if walking
on a road.
* Pedestrians should not walk more than two abreast.
Rules for horse riders
* Horses should not be used on Redways that are not part
of the bridleway network.
Remember it is more pleasant to use the Redways and estate roads
for some of your journeys. The Redways benefit all users and are
to be shared. Please be considerate of others.
Remember it is an offence to cycle on a footway or footpath
unless permitted to do so and the route is signed accordingly.
Any problems on the Redways can be reported to the Cycling Officer
