Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the impact of the changes to the Highway Code implemented in January 2022 on (a) motorists (b) cyclists and (c) pedestrians.
This question was answered on 30th March 2022
The updates to the Highway Code made on 29 January 2022 were an extension to the existing advice and guidance.
The amendments simply reinforce the good behaviours that we would expect every road user to adhere to and drivers should already be following the rules of the road. The changes will lead to improvements in road safety as they encourage more mutual respect and consideration for all road users.
