There’s an app for that!

Reports, meets and other stuff on how to trash the bike with a grin on your chops.

TRO...Traffic Regulation Order. A legal order used to restrict or remove access to a highway or right of way. Typically signed with the 'no vehicles' sign of a car and a motorbike in a red circle. If it just shows a car, you are OK on a bike.
Thanks for that!

Just to confuse matters, most UCRs are shown on ordnance survey maps as ORPAs...Other Routes With Public Access.

Try this, works for me with BOATs and other RoW if that's your interest, but I've not found a way of showing UCRs/ORPAs...

A bit of further advice....

Many UCRs will have a sign at the start saying 'Unsuitable for Motors'

This doesn't mean you can't ride down them. In fact, it confirms they have vehicular rights, but are not maintained to road standard. If you dent a rim or bust a leg because you fall down a hole the sign absolves the council from being sued by you.
