Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about local traffic measures are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.

You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
