# cyclelanedescriptionvalue

This code list is used in association with the Description attribute which is present within the Cycle Lane Feature Type. The code describes the type of segregation of the lane.

{% hint style="info" %}
The definitions in this code list have been aligned to the government guidance on [cycle infrastructure design](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5ffa1f96d3bf7f65d9e35825/cycle-infrastructure-design-ltn-1-20.pdf) where possible.

| Advisory Cycle Lane On Road            | Advisory lanes are marked with a broken white line that indicates motor vehicles should not enter unless it is unavoidable.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Fully Segregated Cycle Track           | A cycle track that provides continuous physical segregation from the road carriageway or footway (for example, a full height kerb, a verge or a barrier). The term 'cycle track' is used here to describe infrastructure for cycling within the highway boundary that is physically separated from motor vehicles, rather than the legal definition. |
| Lightly Segregated Cycle Lane On Road  | Provides intermittent physical protection from motor traffic on the carriageway (for example, use of refuges, planters, bollards, intermittent kerbs, wands or other features).                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Mandatory Cycle Lane On Road           | Mandatory lanes are marked with a continuous white line that prohibits driving in a cycle lane. Mandatory cycle lanes therefore provide greater legal protection than advisory cycle lanes.                                                                                                                                                          |
| Segregated Shared Use Cycle Track      | A surface on a footway which is available for use by both pedestrians and cyclists, with an identifiable segregated area for cyclists. This segregation can be achieved through the use of painted markings, changes in surface or colour, intermittent bollards or low raised delineators.                                                          |
| Stepped Cycle Track Along Road         | A cycle track that is raised above the carriageway but sits below the level of the footway. The term 'cycle track' is used here to describe infrastructure for cycling within the highway boundary that is physically separated from motor vehicles, rather than the legal definition.                                                               |
| Unknown Type Of Cycle Track Or Lane    | Evidence of cycle facility but classification unknown.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| Unsegregated Shared Use Cycle Facility | A surface on a footway which is available for use by both pedestrians and cyclists. The two users (cyclists and pedestrians) share the same space freely, with no physical segregation between them. This is typically designated by signage.                                                                                                        |

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.os.uk/osngd/code-lists/code-lists-overview/cyclelanedescriptionvalue.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
