A hydraulic regulator for use in an anti-skid braking system and operative to allow a rapid increase of braking pressure when the brakes are first applied, but which only allows a relatively slow increase in the braking pressure after the anti-skid control system has operated to release the braking pressure so that undue jerkiness during anti-skid braking action is avoided. This is achieved by means of a valve having two separate paths between an input end which is connectable to the source of braking pressure, and an output end which is connectable to the brake actuators; one of the paths allows free travel of the fluid but is closed when there is a pressure difference greater than a predetermined threshold across the regulator, and the other passageway includes a restrictor throttle through which fluid can flow only at a reduced rate.
