What is a highway code?
A highway code is a set of rules and guidelines for road users, including drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Its main purpose is to promote road safety and ensure smooth traffic flow. Italy's updated code, for instance, now specifically addresses the dangers of distracted walking, aiming to reduce accidents caused by phone use.
