This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Make proper bike lanes
Rejected on
A lot of people cycle to work or school and it would be safer to have real bike lanes not a picture of a bike on the road
Most countries in Europe have great bike lanes so I don’t see why not
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about provision of bike lanes are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you are concerned about bike lines in your area you could raise your concerns with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide additional funding for bike lines that meet a certain standard, if that's something you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
