Changes are being made to the Highway Code from Saturday 29 January, which we think our members need to be aware of; especially if you drive as part of your job.
There are changes in 8 important areas:
- introducing a new hierarchy of road users
- crossing the road at junctions, which includes that traffic should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross at road junctions
- walking, cycling or riding in shared spaces
- positioning in the road when cycling
- overtaking when driving or cycling
- cycling at junctions
- people cycling, riding horses and driving horse-drawn vehicles on roundabouts
- parking, charging and leaving vehicles
