A few weeks ago I mentioned that I believed that the
definition of 'cycle' given in the 1994 Traffic Signs
Regulations (which included 'unicycle'😉, referred only to
that particularly piece of legislation and was therefore
irrelevant to other sections of law. But I wasn't sure
without checking the document again.
Well, I've just discovered that there was a new Traffic
Signs Regulations SI in 2002, and I've found it on the HMSO
website: tinyurl.com33l8eOpen ↗
The definition again includes 'unicycle' and is in a section
that starts: "In these Regulations unless the context
otherwise requires".
So the definition *does* refer only to this particular piece
of legislation.
I'd still like to see the full text of the 1835 Highway Act,
which I suspect would make it illegal to ride a unicycle on
the pavement (US sidewalk). I also still haven't got round
to looking up the relevant European legislation, which
apparently makes exemptions for small wheels.
