The Active Travel Act Guidance is being revised to further improve the quality of walking, wheeling and cycling schemes across Wales. The aim is that they are accessible and designed to be suitable for all to use.

The updated guidance considers safety, comfort, and visibility for women and girls in public spaces, including lighting, toilets & changing facilities, seating and surveillance.

It also considers whether designs should have increased separation and priority for people walking, wheeling or cycling, taking into account concerns for more vulnerable people.

Consultation ends: 13 February 2026
