To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that road users are aware of the recent changes to the Highway Code.

The changes to The Highway Code to help improve road safety for people walking, cycling and horse riding are being communicated in two phases:

• A factual awareness raising campaign ran in February and March, alerting road users to the changes as they came into effect.
• A broader behaviour change campaign will launch later this year, to align with seasonal increases in active travel, to help embed the changes and encourage understanding and uptake of the new guidance.

Both phases of the campaign include a significant media spend, utilising channels such as radio, digital audio and social media advertising.
