Restore legal green lane access for historic vehicles

Reinstate byway open-to-all-traffic status on routes closed by blanket Traffic Regulation Orders.

431 signatures of a 5000-signature goal.

Green lanes — unsealed byways that have been used by vehicles for generations — are being closed one Traffic Regulation Order at a time, not because of documented damage, not because of safety evidence, but because a small number of complaints generated a decision that nobody with a stake in the outcome was consulted about.

The green lane network is a piece of living history. The routes follow drovers' roads, packhorse trails, and drove routes that predate the internal combustion engine. A Defender picking its way along a muddy byway at 10 miles per hour is not a conservation emergency. It is exactly the kind of use these routes were designed for.

This campaign asks for a moratorium on new blanket TROs affecting historic byways, a proper evidence-gathering process before any closure, and reinstatement consultation on routes closed without documented justification in the past decade.
