The 2022 Highway code changes mean cyclists do not have priority over pedestrians at junctions. The new hierarchy of road users states all other road users should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road that you are turning on to or from. Cyclists should also give way to pedestrians waiting at a zebra crossing.
