WHAT DOES HIGHWAY CODE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

The Highway Code

The Highway Code is a guide book for road users in the United Kingdom, prepared by the Department for Transport and the Driving Standards Agency, and published by The Stationery Office. It is a publication of rules and guidelines designed to promote road safety. There are two versions of The Highway Code: the Great Britain version, which applies to England, Scotland and Wales; and the Northern Ireland version which applies to Northern Ireland only. The booklet was first published in 1931, and has become the official road user guide, having been updated continually to reflect current practices. Its standing is so great that a number of rules in it have been reflected in modern traffic law, and failure to adhere to them can result in criminal prosecution.
