Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will review the Highway Code to examine whether to introduce a universal duty to give way when turning and conduct further research into applying such a rule at traffic light junctions.
We are consulting with relevant colleagues and stakeholders, particularly those involved with pedestrian safety and disability groups, about the impacts of such a change. We would need to be convinced that safety and accessibility would be maintained or enhanced if a universal duty to give way when turning at junctions were introduced.
