Norfolk Quiet Lanes

Quiet Lanes is about widening transport choice by looking at ways of managing Norfolk’s minor road network and the competing uses required of them. This is against a background of rising traffic levels and local peoples' concern about their 'quality of life'. This appears to be done by changing signposting to redirect drivers to alternative routes, thus encouraging use by walkers, cyclists and equestrians.

Projects

There are two Quiet Lanes projects in Norfolk.

• The first project, implemented in Spring 2000, is located in north Norfolk. The area is between Cromer, North Walsham and Bacton. This was a national pilot project developed in partnership with the Countryside Agency.
• In Summer 2004 a second Quiet Lanes project was introduced in southern Norfolk. The area is between Attleborough, Diss and Thetford, bounded by the A11, A140, B1134, B1077 and the county boundary.
