Current status
Closed to motor vehicles
Closed to all mechanically propelled vehicles by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (Cam High Road) (Prohibition of Mechanically Propelled Vehicles) Traffic Regulation Order 2008, in force since 6 August 2008. Covers the 4.8km stretch from the B6255 near Far Gearstones to the Cam Houses access track, exempting emergency/statutory services, land access and agriculture. Confirmed directly against the order text and by measuring along the lane chain from the Gearstones end, this segment falls within the closed stretch. Most of the rest of that 4.8km is already a restricted byway, not affected by this BOAT-specific closure.
