When I refer to pedestrianised areas I mean areas designated for pedestrians only and areas where access is shared between pedestrians and bikes. This will include footways, footpaths, bridleways, towpaths and any other public right of way.
If you are able to provide specific details about any of the reports, such as where it took place, I would be very grateful.
