AN alliance of healthy living groups have called for the creation of segregated cycle lanes on all roads in Scotland's cities in a bid to get the nation more active.
The group, which includes the main hiking and cycling charities, also wants to see speed limits dropped to 20 mph and the promotion of safe walking routes through urban areas.
They have released a series of recommendations which they hope will influence political parties in the run up to next year's Holyrood elections.
The alliance of groups comprises seven Scottish organisations who together champion walking, cycling and sustainable transport, including CTC Scotland, Cycling Scotland, Living Streets, Paths for All, Ramblers Scotland, Sustrans Scotland, and Transform Scotland.
Colin Howden, Director of Transform Scotland, said: "Our core aim is to see increased long term investment in active travel with a call for 10% of local and national transport budgets to be allocated to walking and cycling.
