Thanks again. I'll tag the textured paving as a barrier. Also, in the Leeds example I've given, cycling is not permitted because there is a No Entry sign at each end of the path. This is something that is also picked up on here: http://www.andypreece.co.uk/cycling/fac_leverndale.php
Further browsing has revealed Fire Paths are actually fairly common in the Glasgow area: https://www.cyclestreets.net/photomap/tags/firepath You learn something new every day.
