Improving Road Safety on A426 Leicester Road - Petition

Hi everyone

I'm sure we've all seen a near-miss, an accident, speeding or poor lane discipline on the A426 Leicester Road just outside of our estate.

When the road was first designed, the area around the dual-carriageway and roundabouts would have been very different. Many of the housing estates (including ours) weren't developed and neither was Rugby Gateway. All of this combined, plus the growth of other areas of Rugby has significantly increased traffic.

Our local Councillors have been working hard to engage Warwickshire County Council Highways, asking they take action to make the road safer. However, so far, Warwickshire County Council Highways haven't taken any action.

Our local councillors want to see Highways make the following changes:

• Reduce the speed limit from 60mph to 40mph

• Review & re-paint the road markings

Cllr Alison Livesey has created a petition for residents to sign, please click the below link to show your support for changes to the A426 -
