USE ONLY
VEHICULAR RIGHTS OF WAY
Trail riding is only lawful on public roads.
If in doubt, check with the Highway Authority or
the TRF. Motorcycles and riders must be road-legal.
Green Roads are subject to the same laws as surfaced
roads.
KEEP TO THE DEFINED WAY ACROSS FARMLAND
Wheels can damage crops and grass. Wandering from
the road onto farmland or moorland is trespassing.
GIVE WAY TO WALKERS, HORSES AND CYCLISTS
As a courtesy, on narrow lanes, stop and switch
off engines.
ACKNOWLEDGE THE PRESENCE OF OTHER GREEN
ROAD USERS
With a friendly wave or other suitable gesture
FASTEN GATES TO SAFEGUARD STOCK
Except those tied open for farming purposes. An
open gate invites animals to stray, endangering
themselves, and crops or traffic.
TRAVEL AT A SAFE SPEED
Ride at a reasonable speed, taking regard of conditions
and visibility. This should not exceed the voluntary
maximum of 25mph.
RIDE QUIETLY
Machines must be effectively silenced. Use the
throttle with discretion, as noise does offend.
Green Roads are subject to the same laws as surfaced
roads.
HONOUR THE COUNTRY CODE
Respect the countryside and those who live, work
and play in it. Green Roads can be valuable habitats,
so take special care in spring and early summer.
IDENTIFY YOURSELF
Carry your membership card with you when trail
riding, so that you may identify yourself as a
current member of the TRF - and display a current
membership sticker. |
