New Highway code rules come into force soon.
One change of the changes below could be intresting :
Rule H2. Priorities for pedestrians
At a junction, drivers and motorcyclists must give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross.
This is a major shake-up as vehicles were previously given priority at intersections.
In addition, cyclists should give way to pedestrians on shared-cycle tracks.

This one is going to cause a lot of frustration especially with cars approach you from behind who made not realise you are waiting for pedestrians to cross before you turn right or left! Most drivers have no clue about the highway code and struggle with basics like giving way to the right on a roundabout or not crossing a solid white lines. Silvertown Way Morrisons is the worse for this where its a dual carriageway but cars still stop and turn right both into and out of the car park.
