It's been over a year since the Highway Code was updated - many people are still unaware of the changes.
In this quick video we explain four key rules: hierarchy of road users, passing cyclists, junction priority and the Dutch Reach. Please share to spread awareness.

Ok, so some of the driving may be exaggerated, but great highlight of how trees can effect driver behaviour.

We commissioned a #YouGov poll @WeAreCyclingUK@twitter.com and it showed Most drivers still don’t know Highway Code changes one year on. We need investment in a long-term awareness campaign to help change long established driving behaviours. https://www.cyclinguk.org/press-release/most-drivers-still-dont-know-highway-code-changes-one-year #highwaycode
We're building as many car parks as we are new homes! Just a general reminder that we need to build for people not cars, as illustrated by @davewalker@twitter.com

Found this buried in the in-laws bookshelf. Published 1956, it has a chapter on 20th century urban living. It states "The problem of how to cater for the motor-car without destroying the character of our old cities is so difficult no solution has currently been found”
We could see the problem with car centric planning even at the start! #urban #cities #architecture #transport #activetravel #urbanplanning
We need social equity built into our planning reforms. A good 3min read from @CitiesForum_org@twitter.com explaining the allocation of space. https://www.citiesforum.org/news/social-equity-in-transport-planning/ #cities #activetravel #transport #planning #urbanplanning
Any opportunity to provide a connection to nature should be grasped. #nature
And here's a helpful review from the @GreenAllianceUK@twitter.com https://green-alliance.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Review-of-net-zero.pdf
Good to see the Independent Review of Net Zero recommends that the government commits to long- term funding for active travel.

A simple way street-trees🌳improve our health is by encourage #walking🚶
We like being in tree-lined streets. Trees separate us from the roadway. Encourage slower driving 🚗 offer shade in summer, stunning colour in Autumn and absorb pollution
