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

Famous quotes containing the word restricted:
“Love is like some fresh spring, first a stream and then a river, changing its aspect and its nature as it flows to plunge itself in some boundless ocean, where restricted natures only find monotony, but where great souls are engulfed in endless contemplation.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
