Independent inquiry needed to look at lane safety/design on A1270 roundabouts

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We have got some serious safety concerns regarding the roundabout lane designs on the new Broadland Northway (A1270) following accidents and near misses which are occurring everyday since it opened. Please can an independent inquiry be held to look at each one of them and make the necessary changes.
A group of local driving instructors can easily supply dashcam footage of how these roundabouts are already being misused and the dangers all road users are facing each day on them.

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. Local roads are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
