Answer

I am committed to ensuring that the NI Highway Code reflects good practice, and is clear to users. I am supportive of encouraging walking and cycling and wish to assess how best to progress taking account of the changes taking place due to Covid-19. I have asked my officials to keep me informed of the progress on the consultation in GB and will then consider the best time to update the Code.
