Guidelines for rural road safety.

NFU Mutual (other insurers are available) has published a Code for Countryside Roads as a guide for everyone on the safe and respectful use of rural roads to reduce the tragic and avoidable loss of life in our countryside.

The Code is supported by the farming unions of all four nations, the British Horse Society, Older Drivers Forum, the Farm Safety Foundation, and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), and has been produced with input from these partners and members of the public to ensure common concerns are addressed.

This is not a legal document and focuses purely on advice for those using rural roads, which have unique hazards not experienced in urban areas. All road users should adhere to the rules in the Highway Code.

A pdf of the code can be found on the NFU website here or in the link below.
