Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you're concerned about the safety of cyclists. However, it's already against the law for cyclists to ride on the pavement and jump traffic lights.
We could accept a petition calling for action on this issue, for example a change to current laws or increased funding for police to enforce the current ones.
