	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2016 answer text <p>Sections 59 – 82 of the Highway Code cover “Rules for Cyclists” which includes sections on road junctions, roundabouts and crossing the road. In addition Annex 1 of the code “You and your bike” covers information and rules about you and using your bicycle on the road. There are no plans to publish a cycling specific excerpt of the Highway Code. To help cyclists further, the Department is providing £50 million over the next four years to support Bikeability cycle training in schools in England (outside London). This funding will help to increase children's road awareness, encourage active travel and improve future motorists’ empathy for more vulnerable road users.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 05/05/2016 13:14:01 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
