Highway Code Revisions

A new version of the Highway Code has been released.

Drivers of large passenger vehicles and HGVs now have ‘the greatest responsibility to reduce the danger posed to other road users’
Drivers at a junction should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road that they’re turning into
Drivers should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross a zebra crossing, and pedestrians and cyclists waiting to cross a parallel crossing
Cyclists should give way to pedestrians that are using shared-use cycle tracks
Drivers should not cut across cyclists going ahead when turning into or out of a junction or changing direction or lane
New ‘Dutch Reach’ technique tells road users how to open the door of their vehicle while looking over their shoulder
