Amend the 2022 Highway Code. Scrap pedestrians right of way on junctions.
Alter the latest Highway Code. Do away with right of way for pedestrians on junctions.
The reformed Highway Code of 2022 states the following:
- when people are crossing or waiting to cross at a junction, other traffic should give way.
Not only will this cause a rise in accidents, it will prove difficult for those with service dogs. Service dogs are trained to wait until there is no vehicle present; therefore, the service dog will not cross.
Additionally, this could cause a huge spike in accidents; undoubtedly. Bodies crossing before a moving vehicle could be fatal.
