Safety Guidance
The single track roads and walking on roads with no pavements may be a new experience for some of our visitors. Here are a few helpful tips on how to keep safe and enjoy our surroundings.
With traffic increasing in the area and a number of people out walking on roads with no pavements, please, please, please can you take care and follow the HIGHWAY CODE FOR WALKING ON ROADS.
If there is no pavement, keep to the right-hand side of the road so that you can see oncoming traffic. You should take extra care and be prepared to walk in single file, especially on narrow roads or in poor light keep close to the side of the road.
It may be safer to cross the road well before a sharp right-hand bend so that oncoming traffic has a better chance of seeing you. Cross back after the bend. https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/rules-for-pedestrians.html
