Here we look at the Highway Code changes in 2022 and what to do with a pedestrian at a junction. The Highway Code UK is often updated but the 2022 update has caused a lot of interest because we have to deal with a pedestrian at a junction differently and give way to pedestrians more often.
This video shows some practical examples of using junctions with pedestrians. We often encounter pedestrians at junctions and this new rule change helps to define who has priority. It is up to the car or motorcycle driver to give priority to the pedestrian. Once we all get used to this rule change then it will become a lot smoother for us all.
A pedestrian can expect to be allowed to cross the road at or near a junction. A car or motorcycle driver should see a pedestrian ready to cross and allow them to cross. We already allow pedestrians to finish crossing if they have already started to cross the new rule gives extends this to people ready to cross.
If we are approaching a junction at a safe speed for what we can see then if we need to stop then the stop will be controlled. The danger always has been and will continue to be when we approach a junction too fast for what we can see ahead. Have you ever turned into a road and found an on coming vehicle going around a parked car? Your speed will determine whether you had to stop abruptly or in a controlled way.
