Road safety measures/speed reduction

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

regards to a dangerous main road ( marford road ) in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire

There has been multiple car accidents and pets being killed on this high speed road (60mp) coming into Wheathampstead
Id like to request the speed limited be changed and permanent speed cameras put in place

There has been multiple car accidents and pets being killed on this high speed road (60mp) coming into Wheathampstead
Id like to request the speed limited be changed and permanent speed cameras put in place as this is a highly fast and dangerous road

My poor cat reggie was hit and killed on this road yesterday by a speeding car and didnt stop. In his memory if I could influence road safety measures on the marford road that would honor him and hopefully prevent further road kills/car accidents
