Why allow cyclists to share the footway with pedestrians?
A.At the larger, busier junctions, or where there is a demand for better protection for the more vulnerable cyclists such as schoolchildren, off-road routes have been provided. On these routes, depending on location, number of driveways, and the width of footway available, cyclists and pedestrians will either share the footway (near bus stops and junctions) or are segregated from one another (across driveways or where there is a high number of pedestrians) by a raised 6mm high white line.
