A petition has been launched urging the Labour Party government in England to revise the Highway Code by incorporating a photographic page that illustrates horse riders' hand signals. This initiative aims to enhance road safety by ensuring that drivers clearly understand the signals used by horse riders, particularly the extended arm signal requesting vehicles to slow down. Currently, the Highway Code mentions the importance of recognizing these signals but lacks visual representation, which could lead to confusion among drivers. Section 215 of the Highway Code advises drivers to be particularly cautious around horse riders and horse-drawn vehicles, recommending a maximum speed of 10 mph when passing horses and ensuring a minimum distance of 2 meters. The petition highlights that many horse riders are children, underscoring the need for heightened awareness. The proposed changes seek to align the Highway Code with the training provided to horse riders, thereby promoting safer interactions on the road.
