This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. The highway code includes rules setting out that people should slow down or move into another lane if there are flashing lights being displayed.

If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
