Highway Code

Have you tried cycling.uk?

They would certainly be able to supply this information.

Ye gods. After 20 years of driving through Cambridge to work and now wont go back there. The nutters have free reign everywhere.

Only with a traction engine

How else would he travel?

Sam, it may soon be possible to use the footpath for its intended purpose as they make it an offence at a local level to park a vehicle on them. Of course that is if the cyclists allow you to use this newly freed space.

I cycle very occasionally but I’m not happy to do so on the road, far too dangerous. There are many cycle paths near me but some cyclists still insist on using the road next to it instead! I think it should be an offence to use the road if a cycle path a few feet away is available!

I'm one of those cyclists! There are many cycle paths around the Medway Towns that I won't use because they are more dangerous than the roads. That's mostly due to terrible design, but some of them are really badly maintained too. Vehicles, and bicycles are vehicles, should be on the road.

The real problem is that many road users are incompetent and/or temperamentally unsuited to the job.

Tut Tut. 21st century........a woman can carry the flag now!

Don't even think about hitting a camel in the middle east......

What about spiral roundabouts?

No signs to indicate that a roundabout has been 'upgraded' to spiral.

Bear....

Not freed up for E-scooters then???

No need to, they use them anyway.

The ones near me that I have in mind are if anything better than the road so your argument is void. I’m sorry the ones in your area are so bad. Maybe you should contact the council?

I agree with the earlier poster. His arguement is far from void. Even in towns some cycle ways are lacking in maintenance & that can be seen on a number of you tube videos. My experience bears that out. i have 2 Bromptons & the 16 inch wheels emphasise that.

I would not expect a sign. It is generally how I have treated a roundabout all the time.

How many people know that you must give way to a bus when the driver switches their right hand indicator on at a bus stop.

MUST ??? or "should"

Cannot say I have read the intro to the highway code for decades but

Just out of interest - is a CODE law, or a code of practice, which could be deemed something slightly different.

Obviously not acting in accordance with a recommended code could put one at a dissadvantage,

But unlawful in its self ??

An example- If one did not follow the procedure for a spiral roundabout would one be breaking a law? If one had an accident as a result then one would be at a disadvantage by having not followed the "code"
