SPB-Cooperator BS: New rules of the road for the UK (139* d) RE: BS: New rules of the road for the UK 13 Feb 22


The new rules (Highway Code)has a number of serious ommissio0ns which put the lives of pedestrians in danger. I would add:

(1) Pedestrians who are using the pavement are personally responsible for ensuring their own safety and must always ensure that they provide adequate space to ensure that cyclists and electric scooter riders illegally riding on the pavement are not inconvenienced.

(2) There is no obligation for motorists and cyclists to stop at pedestrians controlled crossings as they do not risk collision with another vehicle. Pedestrians should wait for all oncoming traffic to stop before attempting to cross the road, and pedestrians should never cross when traffic has stopped in case cyclists and electric scooter users decide to pass stopped vehicles and jump the lights.

(3) Motor cycles and moped delivering fast food have priority to park on the pavement while waiting for next deliveries over pedestrians walking on the pavement. If pedestrians are forced to walk in the road, they have right of way over motor vehicles using the road.

Probably many more omissions but these are all I can think of for the moment.
