Average speed cameras the entire length of Broadway through Yaxley and Farcet.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like local government and highways to extend the average speed cameras to cover the entire length of Broadway through Farcet and Yaxley. To improve resident safety and discourage reckless behaviour.
There are far too many incidents of cars traveling at speeds well in excess of the 30 mph speed limit. There are cats killed daily, and with more than 4 infant schools or nurseries along this road, 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.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about speed limits on local roads are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
