Changes to incorporate latest UK guidance
It's hoped the revised Manx Highway Code will be published by the end of the summer.
The updated rules will align the Isle of Man with the UK Highway Code which was last updated in 2022.
They will aim to give greater protection to vulnerable road users such as cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and horse riders.
It also promises new guidance for cyclists - in terms of their positioning on the road and when riding in groups.
Rule 66 of the UK Highway Code states: 'Cyclists should be considerate of the needs of other road users when riding in groups.
'You can ride two abreast and it can be safer to do so, particularly in larger groups or when accompanying children or less experienced riders.
'Be aware of drivers behind you and allow them to overtake (for example, by moving into single file or stopping) when you feel it is safe to let them do so.'

Infrastructure Minister Dr Michelle Haywood says many people will already adhere to the new rules:
Minister Haywood told Manx Radio a communications campaign will ensure road users are aware of the changes before the revised Manx Highway Code is published.
