There are different classifications of rights of way, which can be used by different types of user.
Footpaths (used by pedestrians)
A footpath will normally be marked by signs and waymarks with a YELLOW arrow. You have the right to walk along a footpath with a normal accompaniment (e.g. a dog, a pram or a wheelchair) You do not have the right to ride, or wheel a bicycle along a footpath. It is a criminal offence to drive a motor vehicle along a public footpath unless you have specific lawful authority. You do not have the right to ride or lead a horse, or take a horse drawn carriage along a footpath.

P3?
Cambridgeshire County Council works in partnership with local parishes to improve, maintain and promote the public rights of way network within individual parishes.
The scheme is called the Parish Paths Partnership, and parishes which join receive the support of the Parish Paths Liaison Officer based at the County Council, and grant-funding for work on REGISTERED PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY.
Background to scheme
The Cambridgeshire Parish Path Maintenance Scheme was started in 1988. This encouraged parish councils to take a more active role in the upkeep of public rights of way.
This County scheme formed the basis for the Countryside Commission's Parish Paths Partnership, which was launched in April 1992.
Countryside Commission funding for the scheme ended in March 1998, but new partnerships have been formed between the County Council and the four District Councils - East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire, and South Cambridgeshire to secure the future of this valuable local scheme.
