In a new initiative to ‘encourage people to be mindful of the animals they share the road with when walking or biking’, Duck Lanes have been put in place along pathways in London, Birmingham and Manchester.

These pathways are alongside the city waterways and the Canal & River Trust have even stenciled silhouettes of ducks along the paths so people know exactly who can use them.

‘We’ve painted in duck lanes on the tow path, just to highlight … [that] there’s only so much space you can share ... [a]nd actually probably ducks need the priority’, Dick Vincent, a London Towpath Ranger tells ruptly.tv.

You can even follow the happenings of the ducks and the new pathways with the hashtag #sharethespace.
