Cycling: Pedestrian Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of regulations to prevent pavement cycling.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Cycling on the pavement and on footpaths is an offence under Section 72 of the Highways Act 1835, other than in designated areas such as on bridleways and shared use paths. There are no plans to review the adequacy of this legislation and enforcement of cycling offences is a matter for the police.
