</p><p>On 18 October the Department published a summary of the 14,000 responses received
to its Call for Evidence on cycling and walking safety, including issues relating
to large vehicles. We have recently announced a number of activities to improve the
safety, and perception of safety, of cycling and walking: tailored cycle training
for driving instructors, support for police in tackling unsafe “close passing”, an
update to the National Standard for Cycle Training and, most recently, a review of
the Highway Code to include overtaking and opening vehicle doors.</p><p> </p><p>The
Department will publish its full response to the Call for Evidence in due course.</p>
