Cycle Path Surface Options (Sustrans Technical Information Note 8)
Detailed guidance about standard default bound surface options – dense bitumen macadam or hot rolled asphalt, and alternative unbound, semi-bound and bound surface options for traffic free paths. The alternative surface options are considered where the standard options are not suitable.

Code of Practice for High Friction Surfacing

Cycle Infrastructure: Design Guidance and Best Practice (SEStran)
Design and best practice guidance to help local authorities, developers and others involved in providing new cycling infrastructure, whether specifically for cycling or for taking cycling into account for all forms of transportation infrastructure. The guidance provides basic information about cycle auditing and monitoring that can be used to help identify measures to improve a particular infrastructure scheme, a route or part of a network for cycling based on five key principles – coherence, directness, attractiveness, safety and comfort. It also provides basic information about surfaces for both on-road and off-road cycle infrastructure provision.

Lowland Path Construction Guide - A Good Practice Guide to Planning, Design, Construction and Maintenance (Paths for All)
Downloadable manual covering the various stages of delivering path construction or maintenance projects. The guide provides detailed information about different types of surfaces for paths in lowland settings.

National Path Demonstration Site (Paths for All)

The National Path Demonstration Site showcases best practice in inclusive design, infrastructure and the management of shared use paths.

This unique site, located at Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) Oatridge Campus, is made up of several paths constructed using a range of different materials and construction techniques. The site aims to help path projects decide on the best materials and techniques to use for their own unique project. As well as different types of path surface, you'll also find lots of different types of gates, barriers, bridges and signs at the site to look at and try out.
