Salisbury Plain training area has no dedicated live firing times. Members of the public are reminded not to access the byeways when the red flags are flying and the danger, live firing or no public entry signs are displayed.

Members of the public are reminded when on land subject to the Salisbury Plain Military Lands Byelaws 1981 (S.I.1981/1982) under Byelaw 5 it is an offence to fail to comply with the provisions of Byelaw 3, in that it is an offence to use a motor vehicle other than on a Byeway Open to All Traffic (BOAT) or Permissive BOAT. Under section 3(1(c)) no person may “ride a horse, bicycle or tricycle or ride, drive or propel a motor vehicle of any kind, otherwise than on the carriageway or a road suitably constructed and made up for general use by vehicular traffic.”. To do so may result in a Warning Off, whereby you will be asked to leave the Training Area and a s59 (of the Police Reform Act 2002) warning letter issued or a fine being issued.
