2021 UK Highway Code change grants pedestrians and cyclists priority at junctions; 50% of drivers unaware.

Major Highway Code changes have led to pedestrians and cyclists now having priority over vehicles at junctions in the UK. A new study found that over half of drivers are unaware of this change, which occurred in 2021. In response, ALA Insurance has issued a warning to drivers to adhere to these new rules to ensure the safety of all road users, especially during Cycle to Work Day on August 1.
