Rejected petition Ban tractors on the A17

More details

There are a considerable number of very slow moving tractors on the A17, particularly around the Kings Lynn area. These cause considerable tail backs in both directions. I seek to petition tractors and other agricultural vehicles being banned, or severely resticted, on the A17. With a bit more thought they could use the minor roads instead of creating traffic jams on a major 60mph A-road. Also, could we include caravans as well?

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The A17 is a local authority road, and the issue should be raised with them.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
