Ban surface dressing as a method of road repair — 125 signatures. Status: open.
In our view, our roads are in an appalling state of repair but we do not believe that the practice of Surface Dressing is the solution. We think it’s a dangerous solution for all road users, especially motorcyclists and cyclists. I call on the government to ban this method of road repair.
As a motorcyclist myself, I believe that Surface Dressing is not conducive to a safe method of passage for motorcyclists or cyclists, even at 20mph. In my experience roads which have been surface dressed are akin to sheet ice.
