Cycling in the United Kingdom/Regional Routes

| CyclOSM A free cycle-oriented map with more features than OpenCycleMap. See its wiki page CyclOSM. |
| Waymarked Trails: Cycling by Sarah Hoffman is a layer superimposed over mapnik (Standard Map Layer) which shows marked cycle routes around the world. Updated minutely, it renders actual routes without the state=proposed tag. Therefore no proposed routes (or proposed numbering protocols) are displayed. |
Regional routes generally have a white-on-blue number. Use a rcn_ref tag, or a relation with network=rcn (not ncn).
Sustrans is currently embarking on a project to re-number and re-classify Regional routes as National routes - numbers below and those for new routes may be subject to change over the coming months. See the Sustrans website for more information.
| Route | Description | Complete | Route relation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol, South Glos. & Somerset RR10 | Avon Cycleway | 100% | RCN 10: 69889 69889Chipping Sodbury Link: 2204283 2204283Yate Link: 2204291 2204291 |
There are a number of local "links" which lead to the Avon Cycleway - these still need mapping. |
| Brighton & Hove / West Sussex RR82 | Brighton to South Downs Way / NCR20 | 100% | 21901 21901 |
Almost entire route - Only surveyed Northbound segregated cycle lanes in Brighton. --Gregoryw 18:35, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
I have updated this route to match changes over the last 10 years. Sources include B&HCC's cycle map. |
| Brighton & Hove / East Sussex RR90 | Brighton to Lewes and on towards Eastbourne | 100% | relation 21904 | I have cycled this route a lot. B&HCC did a lot of upgrades to their cycle lanes along the Lewes Road. Strangely, in 2012, an excellent new off-road cycle track was added adjacent to the A27 at Beddingham, but Sustrans seem to have eschewed this and insist RR90 still goes along country roads (narrow, steep, poor surface, poor visibility round bends) via Glynde. |

Cycled whole route. --Gregoryw 11:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC). Added relation Ddixon 18:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC). |
