Here are the new rules coming into effect from Saturday 29 January.
7. Opening car doors
Car occupants should open doors using their hand on the opposite side to the door, making them turn their head to look over their shoulder. This technique, known as the Dutch Reach, reduces the chances of doors being opened into the path of cyclists and motorcyclists.
8. Overtaking cyclists at junctions
When cyclists are going straight ahead at a junction, they have priority over traffic waiting to turn into or out of a side road, unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise.
9. Electric vehicle charging
Electric car owners using a public chargepoint should park near the device and avoid creating a trip hazard from trailing cables.
10. Roundabouts
Drivers should take extra care when entering roundabouts to make sure they do not cut across cyclists.
11. Cycling in groups
People cycling can ride two abreast but should be considerate of the needs of other road users when in groups.
