Already known changes in the new Highway Code

Vezess.hu reports that, as the new Highway Code (KRESZ) is being prepared, some expected modifications are already known.

According to the Ministry of National Development, the new Highway Code will begin to operate in 1-1.5 years. But, they know by now what it will be like, and shared the modifications to which drivers will have to adapt.

It is planned to change the grammar of the rules, for it has been criticized that the actual sentences of the rules were convoluted, too long, and overregulated. Moreover, only those provisions regarding the driving behaviour would be kept in the new Code which directly affect the safety of the public road traffics.

Those rules which will not make it to the new set are said to be unnecessary to be learnt, for they can be recorded by council regulations in the future. Furthermore, the new one will not only be shorter but simpler as well.

The speed limits are definitely going to be modified: some elements of the currently used 5-10-20-30-40-50-60-70-0-90-100-110-130 km/h speed signs will be left out, and by decreasing the number of the used signs, the speed limits also get changed.
