Modern motorways use technology to monitor and manage the flow of traffic. The technology is controlled from regional control centres which can activate and change signs and speed limits. This helps keep the traffic flowing more smoothly. On some stretches, the hard shoulder has been removed to accommodate growing traffic and there are different arrangements in place to safely manage incidents and breakdowns. On other stretches of motorway, the hard shoulder is used to carry traffic at busy times and variable speed limits help to control the flow of traffic. As roads change, it is important that drivers understand these changes and know what to do when driving on them, so that everyone remains safe. The Highway Code plays an important role in this understanding: setting out rules, techniques and advice for all road users. The Highway Code is being updated to provide more guidance on driving on motorways and major A-roads. It will include information such as emergency area signage, the use of variable speed limits to manage congestion, and how road users can help keep themselves and other road users safe in the event of a breakdown. Guidance on key factors that contribute to collisions and incidents on all high-speed roads has also been updated. This includes proposed improvements to the guidance on driver fatigue, unroadworthy vehicles, safe towing, tailgating and driver behaviour in road works. The update process has been led by Highways England, which is responsible for operating, maintaining and developing the Strategic Road Network in England. This consultation document sets out the changes proposed and seeks views on whether the changes will help drivers feel better informed and more confident about driving on high-speed roads. Your views are important, and I hope that you will take time to consider and reply. Baroness Vere of Norbiton 4 Executive summary 1 In October 2019, the Secretary of State asked the Department for Transport to carry out an evidence stocktake to gather the facts on the safety of motorways and make recommendations. In March 2020, the evidence stocktake and an action plan was published. One of those actions was to improve safety for users of motorways and other high-speed roads through the provision of improved guidance and advice. 2 The proposed update to The Highway Code is intended to provide additional guidance on motorway driving and to improve the safety of motorways and other high-speed roads for users and people whose work takes them into contact with the high-speed road network. Our proposed amendments to The Highway Code include new and additional guidance on: • the availability, appearance and safe use of emergency areas • the use of variable speed limits to manage congestion • the use of the red ‘X’ sign to close lanes and provide a safer area for the people and vehicles involved in incidents and road works • the use of hard shoulders that become extra lanes during periods of congestion • how road users can help keep themselves safe in the event of a breakdown • how safety cameras are employed to promote compliance with speed limits and lane closures 3 We have also taken the opportunity to propose guidance which strengthens The Highway Code in relation to other factors that are contributing to incidents on motorways and other high-speed roads including: • driver fatigue • unroadworthy vehicles • unsafe towing • tailgating 4 The new and additional guidance we are proposing aligns with the established operation of motorways and other high-speed roads and, in the case of breakdowns, with the advice being given in Highways England’s breakdown-focused campaign planned for Spring 2021. 5 5 The Highway Code contains advice to all road users and is made under the Road Traffic Act 1988. The Highway Code is a collection of two types of rules, both of which are proposed to be included within this update: • MUST / MUST NOT rules which relate to legislation and if you breach these rules you are committing an offence. These rules include reference to the legislation which creates the offence • SHOULD / SHOULD NOT or DO / DO NOT rules which are advisory and breaching them is not an offence, but it may be used in court when considering evidence in relation to driving or riding behaviour 6 Learner drivers of motor vehicles are currently required to demonstrate an understanding of The Highway Code through the theory test, which must be taken and passed before drivers or motorcyclists can take a practical test. 7 The combined effect of our proposed changes to The Highway Code is 2 new rules and amendments to 33 existing rules. There are also 6 proposed changes to the additional information and annexes within The Highway Code. 8 Within this document we have laid out the text in a table format to allow for easy comparison of the proposed changes alongside the existing text in The Highway Code. 9 We have classified the updated rules into three categories and they are presented under these categories within this consultation document: A.

Safety code for new drivers 119 1 Introduction This Highway Code applies to Gibraltar. However it also focuses on Traffic Signs and Road Situations outside Gibraltar, that as a driver you will come across most often. The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of The Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders. Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/ MUST NOT’.

  • Dual Carriageways Dual Carriageways – Know the Dangers
    ROAD SAFETY EDUCATION Dual Carriageways Dual carriageways – know the dangers Never confuse a dual carriageway with a motorway. Both may have 2 or 3 lanes, a central reservation and a national speed limit of 70 mph, but that’s as far as the similarity goes. When driving on a dual carriageway there are many dangers you need to be aware of. Know the difference between dual carriageways and motorways Unlike motorways… • Dual carriageways may have variable speed limits; • Dual carriageways usually permit right turns; • Dual carriageways allow traffic to join from the left and cross from left to right; • Cyclists, mopeds, farm vehicles and pedestrians are allowed to use dual carriageways; • Dual carriageways may have Pelican Crossings, traffic lights, roundabouts and Zebra Crossings. 2 Know the speed limits Dual carriageways often have lower or variable speed limits shown by red circular signs. Rule 124 of The Highway Code NI says you MUST NOT exceed the maximum speed limits for the road and for your vehicle. The presence of street lights generally means that there is a 30 mph (48 km/h) speed limit unless otherwise specified. 3 Know your stopping distances (Rule 126) Always drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear. Leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front so that you can pull up safely if it suddenly slows down or stops. Remember - • Never get closer than the overall stopping distance (see typical stopping distances table); • Always allow at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle Know how to join a in front on roads carrying dual carriageway fast-moving traffic and in tunnels where visibility is reduced; When joining a dual carriageway • The two-second gap rule should obey signs and road markings.
