To put an end to road traffic accidents and tragic losses of family, friends and pets. Mansfield Road is well known for accidents and more uncommonly fatalities. Signing this petition would hopefully put families with young drivers, pets and children's minds at rest, and more importantly make the road alot safer for drivers and pedestrians who use the road on a day-to-day basis. Young drivers who have only been driving for a short period of time, used Warsop Lane (Rainworth) and now Mansfield Road (Blidworth) as a race track, concluding in road traffic accidents, or worse, death. I feel this petition would be a big change for Blidworth and people living on Mansfield Road will not have to fear crossing the road. A young girl was hit by a car on Warsop Lane (Rainworth) in 2008, which resulted in speed bumps along the road, in which now the road is alot safer and accidents are very uncommon. My aim is to get 10,000+ signatures and hopefully put an end to this.

I have spent the recent days documenting the specific areas along Mansfield Road where drivers consistently exceed safe speeds. These records will be presented to local officials to illustrate why current traffic measures are insufficient. Please maintain focus on the necessity of these changes for the safety of our neighbors.

The consistent growth of this petition demonstrates a shared commitment to the safety of our streets. This momentum indicates that the community recognizes the urgent necessity for traffic calming measures on Mansfield Road.

speeding is a massive issue in blidworth. councils need to wake up and install cameras or bumps ASAP.

Too many people treat mansfield road like a race track. sick of hearing engines revving at all hours of the night. do something before someone else gets hurt.
