Review dual carriageway speed limits and moped access, especially for the A31

Closed 97 signatures

What the petition asks

We sadly lost our son in 2019 on the A31 Farnham Bypass. This road is unlit and the speed limit needs to be reduced to 50mph. My son was riding his moped and stood no chance not only was he hit from behind he was then struck by two further vehicles.
As Conner's parents we never want another parent have to see these injuries to their child or never see there child again. Mopeds are not able to meet the speed limits on dual carriageways, which can put moped users in danger.

The Government should review dual carriageway speed limits and moped access, and either reduce speed limits or prevent access to moped riders. Our son is gone and not coming back but changes could prevent this from happening to anyone else.
