Answer
Several sections of the Highway Code already cover horse riders. The Government announced on 18 October 2018 that, as part of the Cycling
and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) Safety Review, the Highway Code would be reviewed to help keep cyclists and pedestrians safe on the roads.
The full scope of the review has yet to be determined but in accordance with normal practice it will be conducted in consultation with all of our stakeholders, including those representing equestrians such as the British Horse Society.
