Rejected petition Make it law for cyclist to use cycle paths when available.

With the introduction of cycle paths next to busy roads a new law should be passed for cyclist to use them of face fines. This will reduce the risk of accidents, death or injury. Millions have been spent on these paths.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Not the Senedd/Government’s responsibility

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/
