Two Tings

British Waterways London has launched a new towpath Code of Conduct with a 'Two Tings' message aimed at all towpath users following a series of physical works to improve safety on the Regent’s Canal.

The Code of Conduct explains that pedestrians have priority over cyclists and asks them to use a bell giving 'Two Tings' when approaching pedestrians, pass people slowly giving them space and to ride at a sensible speed. It also asks pedestrians to listen for the 'Two Tings' and allow cyclists to pass.

Towpath users learn about the Two Tings campaign in London

British Waterways hopes that the Two Tings Campaign will make towpath users respect other people using the towpath and the 200-year old historic waterway environment within London.
