A highway over which the public have a right of way on foot only, not being a footway (see section 329(1) of the HA80 and section 336(1) of the TCPA90), or a highway over which the public have a right of way on foot only, other than such a highway at the side of a public road (see section 66(1) of the WCA81). “Footway” means a way comprised in a highway which also comprises a carriageway, being a way over which the public have a right of way on foot only (section 329(1) of the HA80). In practice some authorities misunderstood the advice and used the symbols on their definitive map and statement. The symbols had no statutory status. Consequently, where they have been used they do not confirm the existence of public vehicular rights of way. Appendix 2: Definitions - a local authority In addition, ways described as roads used as a public paths (RUPPs) can be found in many early definitive maps. Section 54 of WCA 81 required that all RUPPs be reclassified as a FP, BW or BOAT and many were, but this requirement was superseded in May 2006 when sections 47-51 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 came into force. This provided for all RUPPs still shown on definitive maps on 2 May in England to be automatically converted to restricted byways. The expression “road used as a public path” is no longer used to describe ways in definitive maps. With that in mind, some of the main reasons why we believe that you should choose us for public footpath arrow signs are:

This is because the duty to waymark is only where the council deems it necessary to help someone who isn’t familiar with the location. Councils reason that with walkers increasingly using GPS systems and maps on smartphones there is less need for waymarks. Adding or replacing waymarks Further, guidance should be sought before allowing bulls in fields subject to public rights of way as there are various legislative restrictions in place to prevent injury to animals and members of the public.

Purchasing public footpath signage

Use of footpaths or bridleways by mechanically propelled vehicles has been illegal since the 1930’s. Sections 66 and 67 of Nerc 2006 put a stop to the implied creation of new public rights of way for mechanically propelled vehicles, preventing post-1930 use of a way by a mechanically propelled vehicle from giving rise to any future public right of way. Appendix 1: Definitions Both of these tests can be described as gateway tests - unless they are passed the decision-maker does not get to the third test.

Public rights of way are marked with signs or coloured arrows, for example yellow for footpaths, blue for bridleways.FPs, BWs and RBs may be created by agreement between a local authority and anyone having power to dedicate such a way over the land in question, being in the local authority’s area (Highways Act 1980 (HA 80), section 25). Parish/community councils also have powers to create FPs and BWs by agreement if in their opinion it would be beneficial to the inhabitants of the parish or community (HA 80, section 30). Since they are created by agreement, these cases are not submitted to the Inspectorate for determination but may be relevant to other proposals.

Section 53(3)(c)(i) to (iii) covers such matters as the addition of a way to a definitive map, its deletion, or its upgrading or downgrading to another category of RoW. Signs should indicate the type of path according to whether it is a footpath, bridleway or byway. These are usually colour coded but they also often also have icons. Waymarks

A highway, other than a public path, used by the public mainly for the purposes for which footpaths or bridleways are so used (see section 27(6) of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 (NPACA49 and Advice Note 12). Note: On commencement of section 47 of CROW 2000 on 2 May 2006 (in England) and 11 May 2006 (in Wales) the expression RUPP ceased to be used in any definitive map or statement to describe any way. Those ways shown as RUPPs on the commencement dates were instead to be regarded as restricted byways. What if neither of these rules apply to the area that you would like to enter? In this case, you might still be able to get access to private land, such as when: Another method often used to deter the public is the use of false signs such as ‘Bull in Field’ to give the impression of danger. This is an offence under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and may lead to prosecution.
