Here's what you need to know about the incoming Hierarchy of Road Users
Come the 29th January, the Highway Code changes. It aims to ‘create a hierarchy of road users’. But what does that mean? What does a road user hierarchy look like? And why might it be necessary to introduce it at this time?
The new rules set out in the updated Code mean drivers don’t have priority at junctions anymore. They must give way to anyone waiting or in the process of crossing the road. Cyclists are now encouraged to ride where they feel safest and if that means the middle of the road, to be more visible, that is acceptable. Nevertheless, there is an explicit request for cyclists to give due consideration to motorists at junctions and on narrower stretches of road where overtaking opportunities are limited.Generally speaking, vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders will have right of way.
The changes being applied in most cases are the ‘common sense’ approach, with the vast majority of drivers already taking their time and being patient to avoid causing accident or injury to other road users. However, with cases of distracted driving and renegade cyclists causing fatalities and making the headlines, there’s clearly a need to clarify who is responsible for what.
