New gates have appeared on the South Devon sea wall in 2016 to discourage cycling; they can be opened when maintenance vehicles need to run along the wall. As well as a sign prohibiting 'cycling, roller blading, skateboarding or scooter riding' dog walkers are instructed to keep their animals on a leash and pick up their excrement, and a third sign warns that people use the path at their own risk. This set of gates is by the old coastguard boat house at Dawlish.
