Default what are the highway code changes?

I've been looking on the internet to try and find out what the Highway Code changes are coming into force this month and this year.

Can anyone give me a link that lists the changes?
The info I have found is unclear suggesting January 22nd, 29th, March, if parliament agrees them.
I'm not even sure if the latest edition of the Highway Code book has them. I cant believe it is so difficult to find a clear list of the changes and when they come into force.

apparently they have 21 days to respond to my phone call.

ef me, just spoken to Department of Transport, useless.
I got the impression no date for the new rules coming into force has been decided and could not find out what the new rules were.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/updates

reading the web page, either a change or it is wrong, see below

Updated Rule 98 to ensure readers understand:

• vehicles which are towing should not be using the outside lanes on motorways
• trailers are required by law to be fitted with a secondary coupling device

All the new regulations have any reference to white lines removed.

From the Eastern Daily Press. Lots of priorities for cyclists and pedestrians??? Plenty of Bolshy cyclists already. This will make them more annoying!!! Not too keen on the pedestrians take priority when a vehicle is turning left off a main road. I can see lots of "rear ending" going on as cars stop to let pedestrians cross the road at junctions (or pedestrians just stepping off the kerb in front of moving cars).


Who thinks these things up???

Actually this is the correct procedure for vehicles. Pedestrians have right of way on all roads except motorways

Manchester has applied for trialling zebra crossings on side roads. https://www.transport-network.co.uk/...de-roads/17466

This change is giving way to those on the pavement wanting to cross. I don't think a lot of drivers are aware they should give way to those crossing the road.

I knew that in theory but in practise, towns and cities will grind to a standstill as pedestrians will ignore crossings and just jump off the kerbs!
