英国公路交通法规Introduction概述
This Highway Code applies to England,Scotland and Wales.The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone.
本公路法规汇编适用于英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士。公路法规汇编是大众的必备读物。
The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians,particularly children,older or disabled people,cyclists,motorcyclists and horse riders.It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other.This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.
道路使用者中最易受伤害的体是行人（特别是儿童，老人和残障人士）、自行车骑行者、摩托车骑行者和骑马者。所有道路使用者都知晓公路法规并相互体谅十分重要，对于行人而言也是如此。
Wording of The Highway Code公路法规汇编的用词
Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements,and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence.You may be fined,given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving.In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison.Such rules are identified by the use of the words‘MUST/MUST NOT’.In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which
creates the offence. See an explanation of the abbreviations.
本法规汇编中很多规则属于法律性要求，违反这些规则就是触犯刑律，可能会招致、驾照扣分或者吊销驾照，严重的情况下将被判处监禁。这些规则会使用“必须/不准”字样予以明确。此外，该规则还会引用制定该刑事罪名的法条缩写作为参考。参见缩写的解释。
Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not,in itself,cause a person to be prosecuted,The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts(see The road user and the law)to establish liability.
This includes rules which use advisory wording such as‘should/should not’or‘do/do not’.尽管不遵守本公路法规汇编中其他规则的行为本身不会导致一个人被起诉，但是在交
clothes中文通行为引发的所有诉讼中，公路法规可能会被用作确认责任的证据。这些规则将使用诸如“应该/不应”或者“要/不要”等建议性字样。
Knowing and applying the rules了解并遵守法规
Knowing and applying the rules contained in The Highway Code could significantly reduce road casualties.Cutting the number of deaths and injuries that occur on our roads every day is a responsibili
ty we all share.The Highway Code can help us discharge that responsibility.Further information on driving/riding techniques can be found in‘The Official DVSA Guide to Driving–the essential skills’and‘The Official DVSA Guide to Riding–the essential skills’.
了解并遵守本公路法规汇编包含的规则将显著减少公路事故。人人都有责任降低每天因道路事故而导致的伤亡。执行公路法规将有助于公众履行这一责任。更多关于驾驶/骑行技技术的信息可以参见“DVSA官方驾驶指导——基本技能”和“DVSA官方骑行指导——基本技能”。
General guidance(Rules1to6)通用规则（规则1-6）
1.Pavements(including any path along the side of a road)should be used if provided.Where possible,avoid being next to the kerb with your back to the traffic.If you have to step into the road,look both ways first.Always show due care and consideration for others.
1.人行道。在有人行道（包括任何沿着公路的小径）情况下应尽量使用人行道。尽可能避免在背对车流的情况下靠近人行道的边缘。必须踏上道路的时候，首先观察两侧交通状况。无论何时都应保持足够的警觉并为他人考虑。
2.If there is no pavement,keep to the right-hand side of the road so that you can see oncoming traffic.You should take extra care and
·be prepared to walk in single file,especially on narrow roads or in poor light ·keep close to the side of the road.
It may be safer to cross the road well before a sharp right-hand bend so that oncoming traffic has a better chance of seeing you.Cross back after the bend.
2.如果没有人行道，保持在公路右侧行走，以便观察迎面车流。应保持额外的警觉，并且：
·做好单列行进的准备，特别是在狭窄道路或者光线较差的条件下步行；
·尽量靠近路边行进。
在右急弯道路之前穿过公路靠左行走可能更加安全，因为接近的车流更容易看见你。在弯道后再穿回右侧行走。
3.Help other road users to see you.Wear or carry something light-coloured,bright or fluorescent in poor daylight conditions.When it is dark,use reflective materials(eg armbands,sashes,waistcoats,jackets,footwear),which can be seen by drivers using headlights up to three times as far away as non-reflective materials.
3.方便其他道路使用者看到你。日间光线较差时，应穿着或者携带浅、发光或荧光物品。夜暗情况下，相比不使用反光材料，使用反光材料（例如反光袖标、腰带、背心、夹克及鞋类）比不使用反光材料，可以让开灯的司机在远3倍的距离上看到你。
Help yourself to be seen
4.Young children should not be out alone on the pavement or road(see Rule7). When taking children out,keep between them and the traffic and hold their hands firmly.Strap very young children into push-chairs or use reins.When pushing a young child in a buggy,do not push the buggy into the road when checking to see if it is clear to cross,particularly from between parked vehicles.
7.绿十字规则。下面对过马路给出的建议适用于所有行人。应将本规则教授给儿童，但在儿童能理解并正确使用本规则之前，不应允许儿童独自外出。儿童能正确运用本规则的年龄因人而异。很多儿童无法判断车辆的速度和距离。模仿是儿童的学习方式，因此家长和监护人在陪同儿童外出时应始终完整执行本规则。他们将决定什么年龄儿童能够安全的独立使用本规则。
A First find a safe place to cross and where there is space to reach the pavement on the other side.Where there is a crossing nearby,use it.It is safer to cross using a subway,a footbridge,an island,a zebra,pelican,toucan or puffin crossing,or where there is a crossing point controlled by a police officer,a school crossing patrol or a traffic warden.Otherwise choose a place where you can see clearly in all directions. Try to avoid crossing between parked cars(see Rule14),on a blind bend,or close
to the brow of a hill.Move to a space where drivers and riders can see you clearly. Do not cross the road diagonally.
A首先选择安全的横穿地点，该处对面应该有足够的空间到达人行道。尽可能使用附近的人行横道。使用专用设施相对更加安全，例如地下通道、天桥、岛式横道、斑马线式、Pelican式、toucan式或puffin式（注：这几种人行横道不同之处在于标志和灯光控制）人行横道，以及有警察、学校巡查或者交管人员指挥的过街处。否则应选择一处可以清晰观察各个方向交通情况的地点。尽量避免横穿马路的地点有：
路边停放的车辆之间（参见规则14）、急弯或者靠近坡道顶端处。选择的地点也应让驾驶员和骑手能清晰地看见你。不要斜穿马路。
Look all around and listen for traffic before crossing
B Stop just before you get to the kerb,where you can see if anything is coming.Do not get too close to the traffic.If there’s no pavement,keep back from the edge of
the road but make sure you can still see approaching traffic.
