We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to save lives on the A43 Northampton to Kettering by enforcing a new 50mph speed limit for all vehicles using averaging cameras. More details
Submitted by Christine Osborne of A43 Safety – Deadline to sign up by: 11 August 2009 – Signatures: 25
The A43 Northampton to Kettering is a serious safety hazard where dozens of people have been killed or seriously injured, more dangerous than the M1. A uniform speed limit for all vehicles will reduce the frustration and confusion - making the road safer and increasing capacity. The speed limit should be enforced by averaging cameras and a double white line to prevent overtaking. These measures are quick, cheap and simple - dualling the road will take ten years and be enormously expensive - dozens more preventable deaths and injuries will occur while dualling is going on.
