", but". That's because that highway code was designed for huge and heavy cars that need lots of time and space to come to a stop and that pose a danger for other road users. Not for agile and light cyclists. The rules just do not make a lot of sense for cyclists. E.g., in the Netherlands there are traffic lights for cyclists. They turn green for all 4 directions simultaneously, for only a few seconds. That's enough to have tens, sometimes hundreds of cyclists cross a road, WITHOUT any collision or danger. Cars are just too big and heavy for most urban areas. They belong on _highways_ indeed.
