Public Rights of Way can be found in towns, villages and the countryside. All public rights of way should be denoted by a signpost or waymark. Some paths may be surfaced in towns but many follow tracks, cross fields or pass through woods in the countryside.  Paths should be signed from the roadside and the route is often waymarked by coloured arrows.  Different types of public rights of way can be used by different users:

	Footpaths - indicated by yellow arrows; for use by walkers only.
	Bridleways – indicated by blue arrows; for use by walkers, horse-riders and pedal cyclists.
	Restricted Byways – indicated by plum-coloured arrows; for use by walkers, pedal cyclists, horse-riders and horse drawn vehicles.
	Byways open to all traffic (BOATs) – indicated by red arrows; for use by walkers, pedal cyclists, horse-riders, horse-drawn vehicles and motor vehicles.
