Closed petition: Allow traffic to turn left on red lights if clear

Closed on

We think this change could significantly reduce traffic congestion, reduce driver stress, and help lower government and council costs. The USA has adopted this concept, and it has been in use since the 1970's.

We think this change may significantly reduce traffic congestion, save money on traffic light maintenance, lower electricity costs for local government and councils, benefit the environment, and lead to a less stressful commute, school run, and improved conditions for those who drive for a living.

Lets get Britain moving.

We think this change could easily be advertised on social media, TV and radio adverts, local press and a revised version of the Highway Code as well as the Government website.
