Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about speed limits on local roads are a matter for your local authority, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
You could raise this 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: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
You can also petition your local council directly. Find out how to petition your council here: https://www.brentwood.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2023-09/Petitions%20Scheme%20-%202019.pdf
