The UK Government are responsible for the recent changes to the Highway Code to which you refer and a summary of their response can be found here: UK Government Response to Highway Code Consultation.

We welcome the changes and they will feed into the raft of measures we are introducing here in Wales to help facilitate, encourage and normalise active travel.
