Rejected petition: STOP speeding on our streets because it's dangerous for vulnerable civilians
Rejected on
As a local resident living in the UK, myself and many others in local areas have become disturbed by elements on our streets such as the police failure to restrict the use of e-scooters/e-bikes as well as speeding from non-locals. I would like to see more speed cameras+speed bumps to protect locals.
The ideas presented intend to do good for our communities, not to induce mass surveillance. We want to protect our locals and we want to do that using the means necessary speed cameras and speed bumps will reduced accidents on the roads.
