What are quiet Lanes?
Quiet Lanes are minor rural roads, typically C or unclassified routes, which have been designated by
local highway authorities to pay special attention to the needs of walkers, cyclists, horse riders and
other vulnerable road users, and to offer protection from speeding traffic.
Cars are not banned from Quiet Lanes and the use of Quiet Lanes is shared. Measures such as lower
speed limits and discrete road signs aim to encourage drivers to slow down and be considerate to
more vulnerable users who can in turn use and enjoy country lanes in greater safety, with less threat
from speeding traffic.
What is the Quiet Lanes Suffolk Project?
Quiet Lanes Suffolk aims to benefit everyone who lives in, works in and visits the area to encourage
the use of more active forms of travel - walking, cycling, riding, scooters. The project is aiming to
increase the number of Quiet Lanes in Suffolk.
