Motorcycle filtering signs.

Closed 139 signatures

What the petition asks

to lower the risk of deaths and near misses on the UK motorways, filtering signs to be placed on the gang ways above motorways or on the side of roads informing other motorists to look out for bikes. Also stipulate the legal filtering speed limits in the highway code.
Due to the amount of motorcycle deaths and/or near misses on the UK roads down to filtering, as a road safety intensive nation wide I feel the government should introduce a filtering sign along UK roads, to remind other road users of filtering bikes and the legalities (stated in section 88 of the highway code) to be move vigilant for filtering motorcycles.
