The definition of an urban country lane.
To qualify as an urban country lane a road must:
|
lie within an urban area*, and not along its boundary
|
|
have a soft verge on one or both sides of the road
and (at least one of the following):
> be narrower than a standard S2 road
> have no footpath on either side
> have no lane markings
> have no street lighting
|
|
not have been created as part of urban development
|
|
not have modern house or business frontages adjoining the road
|
Roads that meet these conditions along part of their length also qualify as urban country lanes,
but when adding such a road to the database, the relevant section of road must be clearly defined
(e.g. "between Station Road and Dog Kennel Lane").
* The term urban area is deliberately used in favour of city or town
since urban area refers to a built-up location (physical) whereas the latter
relate to authorative regions (conceptual), which can encompass rural areas.
