Reverse the change to the Highway Code giving pedestrians priority at junctions.
There was no consultation with motorists about this change to the Highway Code giving pedestrians priority at junctions. This rule change to the Highway Code needs changing back. It will cause more harm than good.
Giving pedestrians priority over vehicles is a bad decision. As stated by Edmund King from the AA this rule change will see more rear end shunts between two cars.
To make it “When people are crossing or waiting to cross at a junction, other traffic should give way”
Makes the pedestrian have priority over the motorist which is a ridiculous concept.
This rule change needs to be reversed or it will do far more harm. It’s a case of “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”. This rule change is bizarre!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you are concerned about changes to the Highway Code, however it's not clear what rules about giving way at junctions you want to be put in place instead of the new H2 rule.
If there is a new form of this rule you wish to be put in place instead of new rule H2, you could have a petition about that.
