Active Mobility Act 2017

This Act sets up public paths for walking, cycling and similar uses. It also regulates how people use these paths. The Act binds the government. It applies to bicycles, power-assisted bicycles, personal mobility devices, mobility vehicles and non-motorised wheelchairs that belong to the government. It also applies to public officers and public path wardens using any of these. The government cannot be prosecuted for an offence under the Act. A person is not immune from prosecution just because they provide services to the government.
