Issue summary

The petition addresses safety concerns at Cubert Crossroads, where visibility standards fall below national norms for a 60mph road, posing risks of accidents and fatalities, especially during summer when traffic increases due to seasonal visitors and new housing developments.

Action requested

The petitioners request that the House of Commons urge the Government to support the campaign to ensure Cubert Crossroads has appropriate highway safety measures in place, recognising the importance of having a safe crossroads that does not put road users at risk.

Key facts

  • Over 1,000 people from Cubert, St Newlyn East, and surrounding areas have signed the petition. Traffic volumes have increased significantly over the summer months. Current cost-benefit approaches to road safety infrastructure undervalue the risks on rural roads and junctions. Urgent implementation of measures such as average speed cameras, traffic lights, or a roundabout is needed.
