Working with Cyclists, Horse Riders, Pedestrians and Disabled People

As operator of the nation’s motorways and trunk roads, the Highways Agency has a responsibility to all of its road users. Whilst most of our business is concerned with providing for the movement of motor vehicles throughout the network, we also have significant numbers of non-motorised users, including pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders and disabled people, whose needs must be addressed. 

These pages include information on what we are doing to assist non-motorised users and also what we are doing to help reduce community severance and encourage access to public transport.

Cycling has an important role to play in creating a more integrated transport system. Not only does it provide clear health benefits to the cyclists themselves, but increasing levels of cycling may also contribute to achieving a shift away from short to medium-length car journeys.
Horse Riders
Horse Riders
Horse riding is an important part of daily recreational life, especially in rural areas. However heavy traffic and excessive speed can give rise to grave danger and discouragement for horses and their riders.
Pedestrian
Pedestrians and Disabled People
Walking accounts for almost 30% of all journeys, and over 80% of journeys of less than a mile and is a very important mode of transport. Also the number of people who experience mobility problems is likely to grow in years to come. Therefore the need to cater for the transport requirements of disabled and elderly people will become increasingly important.
