20 MPH speed limit on North Carriage Drive, Hyde Park

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

North Carriage Drive cuts through an extremely vulnerable and busy area of Hyde Park. At Albion Gate, pedestrians,including many children,dog walkers,tourists,cyclists and riders, have no option but to cross in order to enter the park.
There is currently a 30 mph speed limit,which is often ignored.
Preventable accidents are happening and following the recent death of a much-loved dog, hit at high speed by a car last Tuesday , it is time to demand a 20 mph speed limit, bringing this into line with many nearby areas. It has been proven that lowering the speed limit saves lives.
It was a dog this time - how long before it is a child?

Why it was rejected

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

This would be the responsibility of the Royal Parks, not the UK Government or Parliament. You can contact them here:
