Active Travel Network Maps

Active Travel Network Maps key

The Active Travel Network Maps user guide explains how to access and use the online maps.

The Active Travel Network Maps background information guide explains the Active Travel Network Maps (and how to interpret them).

Active Travel Network Maps are created and maintained by local authorities in Wales and are shown here together for ease of use.  For further information and queries on individual maps, please contact the relevant local authority.

HOW TO OPEN THE MAPS:

Maps can be accessed either by clicking the green ‘Display in map viewer’ button (above right), or by selecting an individual local authority from the list below:

NOTES ON ACTIVE TRAVEL NETWORK MAPS:

Active Travel Network Maps show two main things:

  • Existing routes – current walking and cycling routes that already meet Welsh Government active travel standards, and can be readily used for everyday journeys, and
  • Future routes – new routes that the local authority proposes to create in the future, as well as current routes that are planned for improvement to bring them up to the standards.

Please note:

  • All pedestrians and runners, as well as users of mobility scooters, wheelchairs, pushchairs, and mobility aids are included in the definition of walking, and all cycles, including legal e-bikes, adapted or non-standard cycles are included in the definition s of cycling
  • Timescales shown for developing future routes are indicative only, and may be subject to change by the local authority
  • The coverage of the networks is focused on the larger settlements in each authority, in line with legal requirements. However, routes outside these areas may be included where there is high potential for their everyday use
  • Where a future route is defined as both ‘walking and cycling’, this does not imply that it will be a shared use route; all options for pedestrian and cycle provision will be explored as part of the route development process
  • Where important existing routes fall slightly short of the required standards, there will be a short statement available explaining the route’s limitations
  • Information about related facilities and barriers is also available on the maps, including toilets, cycle parking, steps, and road crossings

Active travel: your local authority’s progress

By law local authorities must encourage walking and cycling. They achieve this by doing things like improving cycle routes in all road developments.

Local authorities must demonstrate to us they are making improvements. They do this by producing annual reports and maps of walking and cycling routes.

Existing Routes – Active Travel

Our first duty for Active Travel was to prepare maps of existing routes which met the new Active Travel guidance . We assessed facilities such as cycle routes and pavements, in line with the new Active Travel guidance. This meant we couldn’t include some facilities on the new existing route network maps.

We held a consultation on existing routes, which finished in January 2016. We submitted the audited route maps to Welsh Government, which were approved in August 2016.

Future Routes – Active Travel

Our Integrated Network Mapping (INM) shows future Active Travel routes. These might be brand new routes, or existing pavements and roads for us to improve to Active Travel guidance standards.

These routes have been approved by the Welsh Government.  Creating these routes will depend on receiving Active Travel scheme funding.

A volcano in Iceland is erupting for the 4th time in 3 months

A  volcano in Iceland  erupted Saturday evening for the fourth time in three months, sending orange jets of lava into the night sky.

Iceland’s Meteorological Office said the eruption opened a fissure in the earth almost 2 miles long between Stóra-Skógfell and Hagafell mountains on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

The Met Office had warned for weeks that magma — semi-molten rock — was accumulating under the ground, making an eruption likely.

Hundreds of people were evacuated from the Blue Lagoon thermal spa, one of Iceland’s top tourist attractions, when the eruption began, national broadcaster RUV said.

No flight disruptions were reported at nearby Keflavik, Iceland’s main airport.

Image:

The eruption site is a few miles northeast of Grindavik , a coastal town of 3,800 people about 30 miles southwest of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, that was evacuated before the initial eruption in December. A few residents who had returned to their homes were evacuated again Saturday.

Grindavik was evacuated in November when the Svartsengi volcanic system awakened after almost 800 years with a series of earthquakes that opened large cracks in the ground north of the town.

The volcano eventually erupted on Dec. 18 , sending lava flowing away from Grindavik. A  second eruption that began on Jan. 14 sent lava toward the town. Defensive walls that had been bolstered after the first eruption stopped some of the flow, but several buildings were consumed by the lava.

Both eruptions lasted only a matter of days. A  third eruption  began Feb. 8. It petered out within hours, but not before a river of lava engulfed a pipeline, cutting off heat and hot water to thousands of people.

RUV quoted geophysicist Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson as saying that the latest eruption is the most powerful so far. The Met Office said some of the lava was flowing towards the defensive barriers around Grindavik.

Iceland, which sits above a volcanic hot spot in the North Atlantic, sees regular eruptions and is highly experienced at dealing with them. The most disruptive in recent times was the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which spewed huge clouds of ash into the atmosphere and led to widespread airspace closures over Europe.

No confirmed deaths have been reported from any of the recent eruptions, but a workman was declared missing after falling into a fissure opened by the volcano.
