We mean well, but ....

No because they are saving the planet singlehandedly which gives them godlike rights not available to others

As I've said on here before, I think CRT are missing a revenue opportunity. A 4mph speed limit, rigorously enforced, with say a £10 fine for speeders would at least self fund,certainly at "honeypot" sites.

The problem as I see it is CaRT want the money for towpath upgrades, SUSTRANS want cyclists on the towpath at any cost to life or property, idiot councils and councillors who support such schemes don't understand the consequences and the government general think it's great for the environment regardless of safety to pedestrians.

 

Is any official body arguing the other towpath users case?

knock your pins in the hedge and tie across the towpath to them, problem solved.

or another problem created and won't help those who walk along the towpath?

I wonder if the Ramblers association has anything to say about it ?

About the highlighted cycleway?

Not a huge amount

About towpaths in general?

Quite a lot and quite regularly

 

Not all towpaths have full RoW status, some are still technically "permissive" and on some the status is undefined.

And that really complicates things as those with full RoW status are technically within the remit of the Highways Authority, sustrans claims an overwhelming right to all towpaths and CRT just tends to go with the flow

Any good?
