hi all where would be the nearest pay and play site from hereford ,,,also have found a lane by me that has a sign 'byway' its a wooden sign white writing and an arrow looks fairly new ,,but how do i know if its a restricted one or not,have looked on a few maps but still no answer as yet cheers in advance

Noramlly it would be marked byway or restricted byway, so it could well be okay unless a temporary closure which would be affixed to teh sign.

Post up the location or join your local TRF group.

Grid reference would be handy....
Byway is used a generic sign in my experience could mean anything esp. in Herefordshire!! Bless 'em

If the route is a Byway open to all traffic, then it will be signed as a 'Byway' (sometimes with a red arrow)

If the route is a Restricted byway then it will be signed as a 'Restricted Byway' (sometimes with a purple arrow)

Some BOATs may have an order (TRO) on them to stop motor vehicles using them, in which case they will still be signed as a byway, but with the flying motorbike in a red circle sign (if you know what i mean?)

Hope that helps

Hello drz400z
I was wondering if you were local to Hereford as I am, and always looking for other people to
Ride with?

In the absence of the word "restricted" the traffic sign serves to facilitate motorvehicle access for the public.

Don't you bring that sort of language in here
