<p>The situation in which pavements are shared by cyclists and pedestrians is known
as shared use rather than shared space. The Department for Transport issued guidance
on the development of these schemes in ‘Local Transport Note 1/12: Shared use routes
for pedestrians and cyclists’. It stresses the importance of high quality, inclusive
design which addresses the needs of all users, including older people and disabled
people. It also emphasises that shared use proposals require careful consideration,
and that designers need to ensure that introducing cycling to an existing pedestrian
route does not make conditions significantly worse for pedestrians.</p><p> </p><p>Local
