Cycling: Highway Code
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure cyclists are aware of their responsibilities under the Highway Code.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Cyclists have a duty to behave in a safe and responsible manner and to follow the rules set out in the Highway Code.
The Department promotes safety advice for cyclists via the THINK! website which contains a variety of educational resources, and through social media channels and radio advertising. Specific examples of activity to promote knowledge of the Highway Code amongst cyclists include the THINK! campaign “Travel like you know them” administered by the Department for Transport, and the “Bikeability” cycle training programme funded by Active Travel England.
