If I see a ped arriving at junction with a minor road I am turning into or out of I am ready to stop unless committed. I always thought this was a "should" anyway, although in very urban environments with crossing lights I would expect peds to wait their turn. I don't expect this to cause any trouble, unless peds start marching into the road without looking which seems unlikely, the Portuguesers notwithstanding.

Similarly I incline to make room for cycles, regardless of right-of-way.

I like the introduction of riding 'out' to the HC. Many drivers simply don't or disingenuously won't understand why riders go abreast or take the lane approaching bends or junctions, this formalises a sensible practice.

It might emerge that tweaking is needed but it looks basically sound to me.

If there is a rubbing point, it might be the reluctance of certain cycle riders to stop or slow for pedestrians on dual use paths.
