Require local or national referendums on major road policy changes

What the petition asks
Referendums should be required for any major change to road policy like the lowering of national speed limits, road charging schemes such as ULEZ, variable speed limits, smart motorways etc. Let people have the say. Referendums would be local or national depending on the area affected.
We believe that in the example of ULEZ, the London Mayor has far too much power to make major changes without a referendum. We believe they ignore the consultations that are carried out. We feel these policies are resulting in people loosing their licences far too easily and costing the motorist fortunes in fines and sometimes resulting in people loosing their jobs. This has to stop.
