All vulnerable road users should be included on multi-user routes; equestrians are identified as equal to cyclists in the Highway Code hierarchy of road users. Any newly constructed paths should be integrated/physically linked with the existing public rights of way network where possible and needed, clearly waymarked and recorded on either the definitive map or another publicly accessible map as appropriate. Natural surfaces, appropriate specified crushed stone or alternatives such as bound rock rubber crumb are suitable for all user groups.
