===Redways=== [[File:Milton Keynes Redway.gif|thumb|Cycleway network in Milton Keynes. The national cycle routes are highlighted in red.]] {{Main|Milton Keynes redway system|Segregated cycle facilities|Shared use path}} There is a separate network (approximately {{convert|270|km|-1|order=flip}} total length) of [[Shared use path|cycle and pedestrian routes]] {{snd}} the [[Milton Keynes redway system|redways]] {{snd}} that runs through the grid-squares and often runs alongside the grid-road network.<ref>{{cite web|title=Milton Keynes Redways|url=http://www.destinationmiltonkeynes.co.uk/milton_keynes_redways|work=Destination Milton Keynes|access-date=23 January 2018|archive-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130529065059/http://www.destinationmiltonkeynes.co.uk/milton_keynes_redways|url-status=live}}</ref> This was designed to segregate slow moving cycle and pedestrian traffic from fast moving motor traffic.{{sfnb|Bendixson|Platt|1992|p=175}} In practice, it is mainly used for leisure [[cycling]] rather than commuting, perhaps because the cycle routes are shared with pedestrians, cross the grid-roads via bridge or underpass rather than at grade, and because some take meandering scenic routes rather than straight lines. It is so called because it is generally surfaced with red tarmac.{{sfnb|Bendixson|Platt|1992|p=178}} The national [[Sustrans]] national cycle network routes [[National Cycle Route 6|6]] and [[National Cycle Route 51|51]] take advantage of this system.<ref name=ncn6>{{cite web |url=https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/route/route-6 |title=National cycle route 6 |publisher=Sustrans |access-date=17 February 2019 |archive-date=16 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190516000216/https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/route/route-6 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=ncn51>{{cite web |url=https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/route/route-51 |title=National cycle route 51 |publisher=Sustrans |access-date=17 February 2019 |archive-date=18 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190218082023/https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/route/route-51 |url-status=live }}</ref>
