Highway Code

The highway code is a big book of rules that everyone who drives a car, rides a bike, or walks on the road has to follow. It helps us stay safe when we're on the road and avoid accidents.

The rules in the highway code cover things like how to use traffic lights, roundabouts, and pedestrian crossings. They also tell us about speed limits, where we should park our cars, and how to use our lights and signals to let other people on the road know where we're going.

It's really important to follow the rules in the highway code because it helps keep everyone safe. If we don't follow the rules, we could get into an accident and hurt ourselves or other people. So, always remember to look both ways before you cross the road, follow the speed limit, and use your signals when you're turning or changing lanes.
