There have been 3 new rules introduced for road user hierarchy. The new concept for these rules’ centres around the differing levels of risk for road users in the event of a collision. The hierarchy considers the likelihood of the road user to be injured in the event of a collision and places them at most risk and at the top of the hierarchy. This sets the precedent that van drivers have an increase in responsibility within the context of vans interacting with other road users, as in the event of a collision they are less likely to come out worse than a cyclist, pedestrian, or motorcyclist. Pedestrians and cyclists would be an example of road users at the highest risk during a collision.
