A voie verte or greenway is an autonomous communication route reserved for non-motorized traffic, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Voies vertes are developed with a view to integrated development that enhances the environment, heritage, quality of life, and user-friendliness. In Europe, they have been organized since October 1997 within the framework of the European Green Network[1][2] to coordinate and regulate uses often prohibited in certain countries or that compete with motorized practices.[3]
