Roads: Safety

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 16 March 2026UIN 118909

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 4 March 2026 to Question 116553 on the Highway Code, whether she plans to undertake an assessment of the effectiveness of Rule H1.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

As I set out in response to Question 116553, when the previous government introduced Highway Code rule H1 in 2022, they did not initiate or plan for any assessment of their introduction of the rule. Like the previous government, this government does not see the need to undertake any assessment of this common-sense rule on road safety.
