The below table specifies the likely impacts of this option on various sections of road/path in Heavitree and Whipton:
- A "Traffic-free route" is a section of path along which vehicular traffic is prohibited
- A "Quiet route" is a section of road likely to be lightly-trafficked, due to modal filter(s) closing the route to through traffic, meaning it is likely to be suitable for most cyclists
- A route "Open to through traffic" is a section of road along which vehicular through routes (north-south and/or east-west) remain available
