This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about noise from traffic, but we're not sure how you want this to be regulated.

There are already limits to the amount of noise that vehicles can make on public roads, and we could accept a petition calling new regulations to limit traffic noise during certain hours, but it would need to be clear what new regulations you wanted to be introduced. For example, we could accept a petition calling for a ban on certain vehicles, or driving over a certain speed, between certain hours.

If you want to start a new petition you'll need to provide your full name.
