Introduce a pedestrian crossing at The Black Dog/A308/Chertsey Road Junction

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like as much support as possible to put pressure on the powers that be, to install a pedestrian crossing at the junction of the Black Dog/A308/Chertsey Road. It is ludicrous that a junction which controls 14 lanes of traffic, does not have a safe pedestrian crossing system.
Yesterday, I received a truly horrifying voicemail that all parents/families dread "your daughter has been hit by a car". Knowing the route she takes to school I instantly knew that it would have something to do with the crossing of the A308 at The Black Dog Junction; our worst fears had been realised.
This junction controls 14 lanes of traffic and is used by 100's of vehicles/pedestrians each day, yet there is not a safe crossing system in place for pedestrians. An urgent review is required.

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 UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Safety on local roads is the responsibility of your local council.
