Ban HGV's from London streets during Rush hour.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Many cyclists are dying on the streets of London because there is too little space and too many HGVs on the road. A compromise needs to be reached and the cyclists cannot go anywhere. Delaying the deliveries by HGVs between 7:30 and 9:30 in the morning will significantly reduce the London death rate
There are many studies to suggest that cycling promotes a heathier population and more properous economy.

Simply delaying HGV use on the streets of London will not cost the haulage companies significantly and promote cycling.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. Responsibility for managing London's road network is shared between Transport for London, the Highways Agency, and the 32 London boroughs.
