The Benefits of Cycling and Walking Slough Cycling and Slough is an ideal area in which to cycle as it is compact and flat. irtuallyV the whole of the borough is within a 20 minute ride of the town centre. Walking and cycling are an ideal alternative to the car for many journeys, including shopping, work and school Walking Map trips, and visiting friends and relatives.

Time • Walking and cycling, in particular, can be quicker than driving at times of heavy traffic;

• Pedestrians can use one-way streets, pedestrianised areas and other short-cuts not available to vehicles;

• Using ‘signalised’ crossings stops traffic to help you cross safely and

• Cycling & walking to incorporate physical activity into your day at the same time as getting where you want to go.

Health & Environment • Walking and cycling are the healthiest ways to get around Slough – not just for you but everybody else, with reductions in pollution and greenhouse gases;

• Exercise lowers blood pressure, raises metabolism, burns fat and increases muscle mass;

• Exercise reduces risk of coronary heart disease by up to 50%; and

• Exercise increases energy levels, strength, stamina, stress and anxiety, as well as improving sleep quality.

Money • Walking is free! However, a good quality pair of shoes can make walking more comfortable;

• The costs of buying waterproof clothing will be recouped over time, as it helps you to save money by walking or cycling in all weathers;

• Keeping a bicycle is much cheaper than running a car, even taking into account purchase costs, maintenance and any insurance you may take out for it; and

• Car owners can save on fuel, maintenance and parking costs by swapping short trips to walking or cycling. Slough Cycling and Walking Map

Borough Boundary

Cycle lane or ‘bus and cycle‘ lane; these facilities are on the carriageway

Shared path (adjacent to the carriageway shared between pedestrians and cyclists)

‘Traffic-free’ path (away from roads e.g. through parks or along canal towpaths)

National Cycle Network; part of the official ‘NCN’ comprising quiet or ‘traffic free’ routes suitable for unaccompanied 12 year old’s

Canal towpath; cycling is permitted although cyclists should have permits which can be obtained at this website; http://www.waterscape.com

Higher speed or busier roads; most have speed limits of at least 40mph so are suitable only for the most experienced or confident cyclists

‘Traffic-calmed’ routes; roads with chicanes or speed humps/cushions, these reduce the speed of motor vehicles and can therefore provide a pleasant environment for cycling

Walking route; these are high-quality walking routes with clear signs and an attractive walking environment
