Vehicles other than pedal cycles may use them, but should be 171 routed along designated alternatives ceteris paribus. Conversely 172 walkers and bicycle and horse riders can be routed preferentially 173 along them. 199 Rationale: the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, section 15(9)(c) 200 states that a BOAT is "[...] a highway over which the public have a 201 right of way [access=yes] for vehicular and all other kinds of traffic 202 but which is used by the public mainly for the purpose for which 203 footpaths and bridleways are used [access=designated]".
