Rejected petition Paint FAST on the road after SLOW corners in Norfolk

Rejected on 1 March 2023

Driving in Norfolk has become a tedious process of following people driving too slowly for the conditions. I think the reason is that whilst SLOW is painted going into corners, FAST isn't painted leaving them. This means Norfolk drivers continue driving slowly unaware they don't still need to.

Driving around is really important for everyone. Whether that's going shopping or going to or from work, university or even school. Sometimes we just go out for a drive. The whole experience is soured in Norfolk when you approach the end of a tailback every trip headed up by someone driving too slowly for conditions. This causes delay and actually danger when people sometimes embark on frustration related overtakes that aren't safe.
