A9 Dualling Non-Motorised User (NMU) Access Strategy

The aim of this NMU Access Strategy is to formalise Transport Scotland’s position in relation to NMU access arrangements and lay out an appropriate plan of action towards securing best outcomes for NMU related interests taking account of all relevant criteria.

For the purposes of this strategy NMUs are considered to be all non‐motorised traffic, including pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians.

The strategy has collated relevant information relating to outdoor access, and considered previous studies, current legislation and policy to ensure they will be recognised and integrated in the design. Objectives for NMU access provision have also been established, as well as risks, opportunities and the process for identifying possible mitigation measures.
