Use only vehicular rights of way.
Trail riding is only lawful on public roads. If in doubt, check with the Highway
Authority or the TRF. Motorcycles and riders must be road-legal. Green lanes
are subject to the same laws as surfaced roads.
Keep to the defined way across farmland
Wheels can damage crops and grass. Wandering from the road onto farmland or
moorland is trespassing. If in doubt, ask.
Give way to walkers, horses and cyclists
As a courtesy, On narrow lanes, stop and switch off engines.
Fasten gates to safeguard stock
Except those tied open for farming purposes. An open gate invites animals
to stray, endangering themselves, and crops or traffic.
Travel at a safe speed
Ride at a reasonable speed, taking regard of conditions and visibility. This
should not exceed the voluntary maximum of 25mph.
Ride quietly
Machines must be effectively silenced. Use the throttle with discretion, as
noise can offend. Green lanes are subject to the same laws as surfaced roads.
Honour the country code
Respect the countryside and those who live, work and play in it. Green lanes
can be valuable habitats, so take special care in spring and early summer.
ldentify yourself
Carry your membership card with you when trail riding, so that you may identify
yourself as a current member of the TRF - and display a current membership
sticker.
