Do the Dutch have a HC detailing all the rules for their cyclists?

I wonder if Cycling UK can provide suitable arrangements to discuss the outcome when published or even before publication to see some of the expected changes, so that members can add comments in case additional changes are worth considering.

It is, would be nice to imagine a public information campaign will go with this.

Found it:

"Funding for infrastructure upgrades, changes to The Highway Code and new requirements to ensure that active travel schemes' effects are properly assessed."

Do we think it will be published within a year of the consultation closing? Will all the anticycling idiocies be removed?

October is the date for the launch of the next version according to R4, problem is most people never read the HC again After passing their car test.

This not just part of the £2bn over 5yrs being reannounced again?

Even more so if you look at the Mail Online. 600 comments and rising...Just when you think we're getting somewhere...

Vocal minorities are vocal, sadly.

... although I do get rather itchy at its characterisation as having 'won', I must confess - especially when pointing at the comments of others.

£338 million package, how much on cycling per MP's constituency - assume 500 MPs, assume £300 million on cycling, Less than £1 million per constituency perhaps,
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... chemes.pdf

Looks to be about £5 per person and a good investment if it helps to get more people walking and cycling.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/298 ... nal-roads/
spending on roads, about £11.7 billion, about £180 per person.
Spending on cycling perhaps 3%.
Perhaps someone can check the assumptions and figures.

must be different assessments - do not tally it appears, London not listed?

I haven't looked in detail, but I wondered if you might be comparing an increment to a total?
