The use of cycle lanes is provided for in the Road Traffic (Traffic & Parking) Regulations 1997 and 1998. These lanes are reserved for use by cyclists to facilitate and promote cycling as a mode of transport in urban areas. On the grounds of road safety I have no proposals to amend the current regulations to grant access to motorcyclists to use cycle lanes or cycle tracks.
