With cycle journeys on the up, the British government is planning to change the rules of the road to bolster the safety and priority of pedestrians and cyclists. This new measure is part of a government program to promote cycling and walking, while also pursuing the trend for green mobility.
An updated version of the UK Highway Code will introduce a new “hierarchy of road users”. The initiative is one of the flagship measures of a government programme announced on July 30. Some £338mil (approximately RM1.9bil) will be invested in boosting cycling and walking across the country, encouraging Britons to adopt sustainable modes of travel.
