Article 13 of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 (as amended) provides for the offence of a vehicle driving along or across a footway. A vehicle, in this case, includes a pedal cycle. The exception to this prohibition is when a vehicle is being driven for the purpose of access to or egress from a place adjacent to the footway. As is the case with all road traffic legislation, the enforcement of this particular prohibition is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
