Our lives changed forever when we tragically lost our beautiful, kind, caring, and selfless 22-year-old son in an accident on the A760 Kilbirnie to Largs road.

Another young life TAKEN and My family and many more families WILL NEVER be the same again. This is another 1 life too many.

This touching incident is not singular, for this road is dreaded by many motorists and is infamous for its danger. It has been a hotspot for many devastating accidents over the years, causing too many fatalities and countless accidents resulting in severe injuries. 

The nature of this road is such that it's not just an objective analysis, but the painful lived experiences of families who've lost their loved ones, like us, which testify to its hazardous condition. Installing speed cameras would serve as a lifesaving measure, forcing drivers to reduce their speed, breaking the chain of accidents and fatalities that currently haunt this road.

Studies show that traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps and speed cameras, can significantly reduce vehicle speed (Oxfordshire County Council, 2016) and, thus accident rates. Yet, despite the proven benefits of these measures and the clear need, the A760 remains untouched.

We urge the local governing authorities to recognize the gravity of the situation and take immediate action. Before another life is lost, before another family is shattered, let us work together to make this road safer. For our lost son who cannot petition today, and for everyone else who may face the reported dangers of A760, please sign this petition to ensure we install the necessary traffic calming measures on the A760 Kilbirnie to Largs road.
