A5300 prohibits cycles and pedestrians, however everything else is fine. Not sure I've ever seen any horses or horse-drawn vehicles on the Expressway, mind you.

A45 restriction
"No slow vehicles" (unable to exceed 25 mph)... whether I can exceed 25 depends on the gradient. On a flat road, I can. Not for very long, though...

A92 tay Road Bridge, no pedestrians on the main carriageways.

Slightly tangentially, does the 'No racing by horse drawn vehicles' prohibition at Fontwell exist anywhere else?
Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
No pedestrians on the A61 Inner Relief Road in Chesterfield

A58 Burdock Way in Halifax prohibits pedestrians and horse drawn carriages but not cyclists. Likewise the A629 Ovenden Road flyover.
Many roads in South Wales ban pedestrians but not cycling. The exception is the A470 which is virtually a motorway in all but name anyway.

And a third section of the A630! This time under the Frenchgate Centre in Doncaster (pedestrians can go through the centre or use the pedestrianised Frenchgate). Also New North Bridge nearby (pedestrians and cyclists can join buses and taxis on Old North Bridge).the cheesecake man wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 18:43 A630-A57 Sheffield Parkway
Similarly A630 Rotherway
Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
The A5103 Princess Parkway bans NMUs as it has parallel tracks down it. Which could really do with cleaning up, perhaps Highways England would like to read LTN 1/20...

I think the A814 Clydeside Expressway in Glasgow might fall into this category.

Also another section of the A57 I should have remembered as I've posted about it at least three times.

Another Reading one, the A329 IDR(Inf/ternal Distribution Road) bans NMU's, I'm pretty sure.
Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
Probably not but it should, during the Appleby Horsefair a few years ago some of the traveller community caused chaos on the A66 by racing on it and and there was a similar incident on the A19 near Ashington.

Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
Should such a sign be necessary? Racing on the public highway is already illegal. Are those willing to ignore this and not bothered about anyone's safety really likely to take care about a sign? For example a bank putting up a "no armed robberies" sign would just look silly.KeithW wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 13:00Probably not but it should, during the Appleby Horsefair a few years ago some of the traveller community caused chaos on the A66 by racing on it and and there was a similar incident on the A19 near Ashington.

Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
It is for motor vehicles, but not necessarily for NMUs? AIUI cycling and (human) running races do have to get the police's permission for their races.the cheesecake man wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 19:31Should such a sign be necessary?

A person who promotes or takes part in a race or trial of speed between motor vehicles on a public road is guilty of an offence.
I guess permission to hold marathons etc is for road closures, crowd safety etc rather than to make the race legal.

Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
However cycle time trials appear to require minimal regulation, due to not being head-to-head races, so only one rider to pass at a time.the cheesecake man wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 20:19Surprisingly you seem to be right:trickstat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 20:07It is for motor vehicles, but not necessarily for NMUs?

I wonder if foot races on the same basis would pass muster. Has this been tried?

I'd guess not. Starting thousands of marathon runners one at a time would take quite a while...Chris Bertram wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 21:17 I wonder if foot races on the same basis would pass muster. Has this been tried?
Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
Time trial running races are very rare and would have to be limited in terms of number of competitors.the cheesecake man wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 21:24I'd guess not.

Re: Non–Special A roads with N.M.U. prohibitions?
I am pretty sure to get a permit with the governing body for road running you have to show that you have permission from the police if you are using any public roads, even if they are not being closed.the cheesecake man wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 20:19Surprisingly you seem to be right:trickstat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 20:07It is for motor vehicles, but not necessarily for NMUs?
