Councils blocking roads to force drivers on main roads adds traffic pollution.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

High traffic chaos created by Councils blocking access roads, adding fines if used to cut through or adding planters to block streets forcing drivers to burn more fuel driving, adding to the pollution to reach destinations forcing drivers to sit in traffic.

If a journey used to take 15 mins to cut through a town like Leyton, Haringey but now takes 30 - 45mins to cut through a town to reach a destination then clearly the drivers have been forced to sit in traffic and therefore is adding more pollution to the atmosphere. The system has been created for revenue via the Councils with restricting access to fine drivers.
