Rejected petition Make the use of cycle paths in Wales compulsory if available.

Many cycle paths have been created at a considerable cost for the safety of cyclists. Sadly many cyclists opt to remain using main roads and put themselves at unnecessary, and increased danger of being involved in an accident with a motorised vehicle. Where available, it should be mandatory for cyclists to use cycle paths.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Petitions to the Senedd must call for a specific action that falls within the powers of the Senedd or Welsh Government.

To prohibit a cyclist from using roads, an offence would need to be created. Welsh Government do not have the powers to do so as road traffic offences are reserved to the UK Government.

You may wish to consider petitioning the UK Parliament about this issue instead: https://petition.parliament.uk/
