Ban bicycles on roads with a speed limit above 30mph

What the petition asks

Ban bicycles on roads with a speed limit above 30mph, as the majority of the cyclists never go above this speed.
We believe cyclists cause unnecessary stress and traffic build up when they ride on road with 40 and 50mph speed limits. Some cars are able to overtake and are often still at risk of hitting the cyclist. We believe it is not safe enough on the roads where cars travel above 30mph for cyclists, whether they're cycling leisurely or as fast as they're able.
