This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about road traffic improvements, including installing physical barriers between the road and pavements, are a matter for the relevant traffic authority, which for most roads is the local authority, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to make parking on the pavement a criminal offence, and provide funding for local authorities to install barriers of the type you've requested, if that's something you'd like to happen.
