Cycleways: Invalid Vehicles

(asked on 9th December 2016) - View Source

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether there are any cycle lanes in the UK to which mobility scooters have full access; whether they have considered making this a condition for the construction of fixed cycle lanes; and whether there are any legislative barriers to providing such access.


This question was answered on 19th December 2016

Provision of cycling infrastructure, including cycle lanes, is the responsibility of the local traffic authority. The Department for Transport does not hold data on the number of cycle lanes, nor whether mobility scooters are able to access them. It is for traffic authorities to decide what type of lane to provide and where.
