Rejected petition: Make England/Wales/Scotland/NI painted flags compulsory 4 every mini roundabouts
Rejected on
I want the Government to make it compulsory for all mini-roundabouts in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to be painted with the relevant national flag, to improve road safety and promote national identity across the UK.
Mini-roundabouts are sometimes overlooked by drivers, leading to safety risks. Painting them with the relevant national flag would make them more visible and distinctive, helping to reduce accidents. This change would also promote national identity and pride by ensuring everyday spaces reflect the culture of each UK nation. I want the Government to require local authorities to adopt this approach across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
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.
Signage and maintenance on roundabouts are a matter for the authority managing the road network on which the roundabout is situated. Depending on the roundabout in question, this could either be the local authority, or National Highways.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
