answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2023 answer text <p>In the Plan for Rail we set out the intention to simplify fares and allow long distance operators more commercial freedom, and in the Bradshaw Address we committed to trialling demand-based pricing on some London North Eastern Railway services to better manage capacity. Trialling this approach on certain routes will provide useful learning about the passenger experience which we will carefully consider before taking decisions on any wider extension.

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have urgently to rewrite the Highway Code to strengthen the protection of pedestrians from those using bicycles and e-scooters on the pavement.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL5894
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2023 answer text <p>It is important that both cyclists and e-scooter users know that, like other road users, the rules of the Highway Code and road traffic law apply to them. The use of cycles and rental e-scooters on the pavement is illegal, other than in designated areas such as on shared use paths, and enforcement is a matter for the police. Privately-owned e-scooters remain illegal to use on all public roads and existing penalties may apply.</p><p> </p><p>Rule 66 of The Highway Code states that cyclists should be considerate of other road users, particularly blind and partially sighted pedestrians, and should alert them to their presence when necessary.</p><p> </p><p>The Department continues to look at how we can improve road safety for everyone who uses our roads and pavements. Should new legislation be introduced to change the rules for e-scooters, the Department will review the Highway Code and whether any amendments may be appropriate.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 07/03/2023 14:48:38 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
