Product Information

Footpath & waymarker signs are commonplace and you will most likely have seen some of these signs yourself when out walking, cycling and running in public areas, parks and fields. These footpath signs are designed to help the public to navigate and find their way safely when using public footpaths. All of our public footpath signs are made with high-quality PVC which is made to last years and withstand against all weather conditions so you can buy with confidence that these signs will last.

Further, guidance should be sought before allowing bulls in fields subject to public rights of way as there are various legislative restrictions in place to prevent injury to animals and members of the public.

Rights of way over private land should not generally be diverted without the consent of the local authority. However, landowners may temporarily offer a diversion, but only if it is safe to do so. They should ensure that the diversion is clearly marked and unobstructed. It is the Inspectorate’s view that section 119(2)(b) does not restrict the point of connection of the diverted footpath, bridleway or restricted byway to a highway that is immediately connected to the highway to which the path formerly terminated. However, there must be some connection between the highway on which the way in question terminated before its diversion and that on which it would terminate after the diversion. Whether that connection is as substantially as convenient for the public is a matter of judgement for the Inspector subject to the test of reasonableness. A highway, other than a public path, used by the public mainly for the purposes for which footpaths or bridleways are so used (see section 27(6) of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 (NPACA49 and Advice Note 12). Note: On commencement of section 47 of CROW 2000 on 2 May 2006 (in England) and 11 May 2006 (in Wales) the expression RUPP ceased to be used in any definitive map or statement to describe any way. Those ways shown as RUPPs on the commencement dates were instead to be regarded as restricted byways.

Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted” – Aimed at deterring people from private land, these signs are usually meaningless as walking onto someone else’s property is a civil offence rather than a legal one, however the landowner could prosecute if you trespass and damage property. A landowner can use ‘reasonable force’ to encourage a trespasser off their property and signs of this nature are usually to be taken as a sign to move on. Mindfulness, common sense and respect should be practised here but simply walk on and continue to enjoy your day in peace. Newbies in the countryside can often be mis-informed about the access network and its history. Is this a residential issue?

Public footpath signs can be used for many reasons.

Left Arrow Public Footpath Signs Materials & Dimensions Note: As a rule, open access land includes common land, downs, heaths, moors, mountains, and selected land masses around the England Coast Path (a National Trail around England’s coastline). In addition, ways described as roads used as a public paths (RUPPs) can be found in many early definitive maps. Section 54 of WCA 81 required that all RUPPs be reclassified as a FP, BW or BOAT and many were, but this requirement was superseded in May 2006 when sections 47-51 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 came into force. This provided for all RUPPs still shown on definitive maps on 2 May in England to be automatically converted to restricted byways. The expression “road used as a public path” is no longer used to describe ways in definitive maps.

With that in mind, some of the main reasons why we believe that you should choose us for public footpath arrow signs are: The term ‘excepted land’ refers to private areas situated on public access land. But, even if you see these areas showing on a map of open access land, you do not have the legal right to access these ‘private’ areas.The red arrow waymarker means byway open to walkers, cyclists, horse-riders, horse-drawn vehicles and motor vehicles

Footpath waymarkers can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. They are typically designed to be weatherproof and durable, so that they can withstand the elements. Use of footpaths or bridleways by mechanically propelled vehicles has been illegal since the 1930’s. Sections 66 and 67 of Nerc 2006 put a stop to the implied creation of new public rights of way for mechanically propelled vehicles, preventing post-1930 use of a way by a mechanically propelled vehicle from giving rise to any future public right of way. Appendix 1: Definitions Section 53(3)(c)(i) to (iii) covers such matters as the addition of a way to a definitive map, its deletion, or its upgrading or downgrading to another category of RoW.

UK Rules for ‘Excepted Land’

If the paths were re-instated there is probably an ongoing case with the County Councils RoW dept. and you should be able to get the information under the Freedom of Information Act. Just bringing these local issues to the surface without probing for the underlying causes does little to progress the case for access. Recently local authorities have reduced the number of waymarks on the path network. This is because the duty to waymark is only where the council deems it necessary to help someone who isn’t familiar with the location. Councils reason that with walkers increasingly using GPS systems and maps on smartphones there is less need for waymarks. Adding or replacing waymarks Footpath waymarkers are an important way to help people find their way and stay on the right path. They can be especially useful in areas where there are many different paths, or where the path is not well-defined. Waymarkers can also help to prevent people from trespassing on private land.
