Open up the bus lane on Jamaica Road in SE London for normal traffic.

What the petition asks
Tower Bridge closed on 01 Oct 2016 for 3 months causing traffic on other routes. Jamaica Road is suffering the consequences as it leads to Rotherhithe Tunnel. The road has a 24 hr bus lane, which is barely used, causing more traffic. Opening up bus lane to normal traffic will ease pressure.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Bus lanes in London are the responsibility of Transport for London. You might like to contact them with your suggestion. Their contact details can be found here: https://tfl.gov.uk/help-and-contact/
