On 2 May 2006 the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 reclassified all remaining Roads Used as Public Paths as restricted byways. The public's rights along a restricted byway are to travel:
- on foot
- on horseback or leading a horse
- by any vehicle (e.g. bicycles, horse-drawn carriages) other than mechanically propelled vehicles (e.g. motorbikes or cars)
A restricted byway is sometimes waymarked using a purple arrow on a metal or plastic disc
