I heard this mentioned on the radio yesterday, I thought most of this was already in the HC but I guess maybe it's coming in soon so that's why it was brought up.
I'm not 100% about but I think it's something like this...
Pedestrians
Cyclists
Horse riders
Motorcyclists
Cars/taxis
Vans/minibuses
Large passenger and heavy goods vehicles
Cyclists will now also have priority at junctions.
Cyclist passing distances are to be 1.5 metres at speeds under 30mph and 2.0 metres at speeds over 30mph, also cyclists have been advised to take the middle line on all roads.
To me combining the passing distances and taking the middle line could be interesting on some of the country lanes I go on, it could mean making very slow progress as there could in theory be no legal passing at all.
Obviously enforcement is another matter...
