Rejected petition INCREASE OF SPEED LIMIT ON MOTORWAYS AND DUAL CARRIAGEWAYS
Fully review the capabilities (or data obtained through manufacturer testing) of modern vehicles such as stopping distances (wet/dry) from a broad spectrum of vehicle manufacturers and review the UK speed limits on all roads in line with the new data.
More details
Vehicles of today have a greater performance in speed, stopping distance and safety than the vehicles around the time the current speed limits were set. The increase has specifically been sought on roads with multiple lanes.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It was created using a fake or incomplete name.
However, people who create petitions are required to give their full, real name. Sorry if this wasn’t clear to you.
We are rejecting your petition for that reason, but if you resubmit your petition using your full name, we should be able to approve it.
If you start a new petition you'd need to be clear if you want the Government to conduct a review of speed limits on motorways and dual carriageways - based on modern car technology - or if you want the Government to increase speed limits on these roads.
If you want to petition the Government to review speed limits on motorways and dual carriageways, your petition couldn't prejudge the outcome of that review.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
