Prevent Highways agency from removing centre white lines from UK roads

Petition Details

The Highways Agency argue that removing the centre white line creates driver uncertainty and a resultant reduction in speed which will reduce Road Traffic Collisions. There is a groundswell of opinion that a lot of drivers use the white line as a measure of safe road positioning.

Additional Information

Speaking to The Times, AA’s head of road policy, Paul Watters, said: ‘Without exaggeration it is true to say that a simple pot of paint can save lives.
‘In particular, highly visible markings at the edge and centre of the road that can be seen on a wet night are enormously cost-effective in saving lives.’
