<p>National Highways is committed to support all road users including walkers, cyclists
and horse-riders. Its research and feedback, combined with insight from others such
as Transport Focus, helps NH to understand how its services and roads may need to
evolve to meet the needs of customers.</p><p> </p><p>CD 195 Designing for Cycle Traffic
is one of a suite of documents that National Highways has to ensure the most appropriate
provision is provided for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. National Highways are
working with Active Travel England to ensure the design standards referenced are applied
wherever practical, supporting the delivery of active travel provision across the
network.</p><p> </p><p>All National Highways schemes are required to follow the GG142
Walking, Cycling and Horse-Riding Assessment and Review Process. This process enables
designers to determine the most appropriate and proportionate type of facility for
their scheme. This could be in the form of dedicated cycle provision designed to CD
195 Designing for Cycle Traffic, or it could be shared use walking and cycling facilities
designed to CD 143 Designing for walking, cycling and horse-riding. As much of National
Highways’ network is rural and located away from residential and industrial areas,
providing shared use walking and cycling provision may often be a more proportionate
approach for the anticipated levels of usage.</p><p> </p>
