Petition Details

Loose chippings are very hazardous

Additional Information

This method of resurfacing to roads is a constant expense to vehicles owners where damage is caused to paint, windscreen, radiators and underseal rust provention.
This is a special hazard to motorcyclists and bicyclists, who may lose their balance and fall if their tires start sliding. Loose chippings can be picked up by tyres and damage them, or may be spun off to become high speed missiles, which may injure or damage other persons or vehicles on the road or on pavements.
A pedestrian could be struck by these loose chippings potentially blinding them.
Loose chippings may accumulate on verges, where they may choke drainage channels.
Additional risk is the dust given off by loose chippings to people's or animals respiratory system.
