Does Bikeability encourage respect for other road-users and sticking to the Highway Code?
Yes. Sharing road space is an essential skill for all road users from pedestrians to drivers. Cycle training is an essential part of making the transition from using traffic free places and shared routes to travelling on the carriageway. The National Standards are designed to encourage cyclists to cycle safely on the road and to obey all road signs and signals. The government believes Bikeability is an important step in ensuring young road users obtain the relevant skills and knowledge from an early age and will encourage a long term climate of respect between users regardless of what transport choices they make in the future.
