No through road lanes

[Turbochops]

I was just wondering if anyone knew why a lot of greenlanes are marked as 'No through road' or have that T sign with the top of the T being marked red.

I know that many are only accessible by 4x4 but marking them as such is misleading as well as not being technicaly correct. I went to have a look at one earlier which was maked as such, did not drive it as the people who live in the house near the enterance had parked there car in such a way that it blocked access. Surley this is ilegal and obstruction of the queens highway?

Finaly ive seen some lanes which are signposted as roads but are gated, although not locked. I take it I am legaly allowed to open the gates and drive through as long as i close them behind me?

hiya TC
i've come across a couple of "gated roads" on dartmoor
as long as you shut them i don't think it's a problem provided the road isn't private.

not sure about the "dead end" lanes tho

I think its best that you always leave any gates you pass through on any green lane as you found them open or shut, keeps Mr Farmer happy

GLASS Gate Guidlines.

If you find a gate secured shut, seculely shut it behind you.
If you find a gate unsecure, open or part open, securley shut it.
If you fing a gate secured open, leave it as is.
If the gate has a "Please close the gate", ensure it is securley closed.
