Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

For the safety of road users Queens Head Junction, Oswestry to have average speed cameras or 40mph speed limit put in place.

There's been so many accidents at Queens Head Junction, myself included due to people's speed coming out of Junction and the turning across 60mph road. There's been fatalities there, road is cambered and greasy surface. Its renowned for its dangers. Speed should be reduced to 40mph or have average speed cameras to regulate people's speed and ensuring safety for the road users.
