Travel update in Nottingham 21 January - 28 January
Walking and cycling
Changes to the Highway Code
Changes to the Highway Code will take effect from Saturday 29 January to make roads safer for the most vulnerable users. These include a new road user hierarchy, and alterations to pedestrian and road user priority at crossings:
- priority for pedestrians waiting to cross at junctions
- priority for cyclists and horses travelling straight ahead at junctions
- confirmation that cyclists should take safer primary position.
Public transport
Staying safe
Government guidance on face coverings is changing on Thursday 27 January. We advise that you continue to wear face coverings (unless exempt) on public transport and in other indoor spaces. If you need to travel, follow the safer travel guidance.
