About this webinar
This webinar is the first in a two-part series introducing Active Travel England’s Rural design guide. It provides background and contextual information about the guide, including why it was developed, the rural settings and users it covers, and how it builds on Local Transport Note (LTN) 1/20. The session then focuses on applying the guidance to rural roads, streets and quiet lanes.
For guidance on traffic-free paths, greenways, rural wayfinding, landscape features, construction and maintenance, please also see the Traffic-free routes and rural landscape design webinar recording.
