Current status
No restriction we know of
Old Road is recorded as a Byway Open to All Traffic and Unclassified County Road. We haven't found a Traffic Regulation Order or seasonal closure on it, but that doesn't guarantee there isn't one.
Some of its sections are typed from OpenStreetMap tagging rather than a confirmed council record. Check locally before relying on the whole length.

Old Road is recorded as a Byway Open to All Traffic and Unclassified County Road, and we don't know of any current restriction on it. Legal status can change at short notice, so check signage and current Traffic Regulation Orders before you ride.
How long is Old Road?
About 2.7 km of mapped lane, in 5 sections with gaps between them. Its two ends are around 3.7 km apart in a straight line, so it isn’t one continuous lane.

One end is near Burbage, at the southeast end, and the other is near Combs, at the northwest end. The map on this page shows both.
Is Old Road in a national park?
Yes, Old Road runs through the Peak District National Park. Some national park authorities make their own Traffic Regulation Orders, so it's worth checking the park's restrictions as well as the council's.
