The new guidance says that cyclists, horse riders and horse-drawn carriages should give way to pedestrians. Some routes may be shared between pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. Also, cyclists must give way to pedestrians who are using a shared cycle path. The new rules make it clear that only pedestrians (including users or wheelchairs and mobility scooters) can use the pavement, whereas pedestrians can use a cycle path unless there is a road sign that prohibits this. They should also give way to pedestrians and cyclists waiting to cross a parallel crossing (where a cycle route is indicated alongside the zebra crossing) and must give way to pedestrians and cyclists already on this crossing. Drivers, motorcyclists and cyclists should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross a zebra crossing and must give way to pedestrians already on the zebra crossing. The new code states that all road users (including cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders) should give way to pedestrians who are crossing or waiting to cross a road at a junction the road user is about to turn into, whereas previously, vehicles had priority at a junction. ![]() The hierarchy is set out (in order of those having the greatest responsibility first) as: The most significant change to the code is that a hierarchy of road users has been established, with those who pose the greatest risk to others having the greatest responsibility to reduce that risk whilst using the highway. ![]()
