A dashed white line marking an area of the carriageway designated for the use of those cycling. Motor vehicles may need to cross the markings but generally should not enter the lane unless it is unavoidable.
A method of asserting people walking priority over vehicle turning movements at side junctions by continuing the footway material across the access mouth of the junction. This also provides strong visual priority to the people walking. A ‘continuous cycleway’ can be added in a similar way if a cycle lane is present.
A facility allowing those cycling to travel in the opposite direction to one-way motor traffic and can be implemented using lane markings, which may or may not have some other form of physical protection, or by using signing only.
A dual-purpose crossing where those cycling are separated from people walking.
Quietways are strategic walking and cycling routes using less heavily trafficked local streets and new or existing crossing facilities at major barriers.
A raised section of the carriageway, used to slow traffic and improve pedestrian crossing facilities.
A cycle facility, physically separated from the areas used by vehicles and people walking. It may be next to, or completely away from the carriageway.
A route, path, or part of any public space which people walking and those cycling share but where motorised vehicles are not permitted. Specific permissions must be granted for cycles to use these spaces, and they are identified by the shared use sign – a blue circle containing white symbols of a person and cycle. In these spaces those walking have priority.
A traffic light controlled crossing which can be used by people walking, and in some cases also those cycling.
Paving that helps people with sight impairments to read the street environment by using changes in texture and colour.
A Toucan crossing is wider than typical crossings, to allow those cycling to ride safely across.
Features which physically or psychologically slow traffic.
An equivalent alternative to foot/walking-based mobility. Includes wheeled mobilities such as manual, self, or assistant propelled wheelchairs:
- wheelchairs with power attachments or all-terrain attachments
- powered wheelchairs
- mobility scooters (three and four-wheeled)
