MAKE ROUTE 24 IN VINTON-BEDFORD COUNTY, VA SAFER Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/make-route-24-in-vinton-bedford-county-va-safer.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 25 Apr 2026 06:49 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition ms stephanie paxton [Signature #427] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/14815848?utm_medium=rss Mon, 4 Mar 2013 07:59:06 UTC 14815848 Ms Leann Whitten [Signature #426] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/14815788?utm_medium=rss Mon, 4 Mar 2013 07:53:55 UTC 14815788 Erin Fraser [Signature #425] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/14815562?utm_medium=rss I don't think the speed limit necessarily needs to be lowered to 45, especially if the other safety measures are put into place. However, the shoulders and the lanes definitely need to widened, street lights would be a great help, and a greater police presence would be a strong deterrent from people driving so recklessly down Rt. 24. It is the major highway traveling from Bedford County to Roanoke and it needs a lot more money and care put into it. The Bedford area is growing by leaps and bounds and so the budget allotted to area must grow with it. Saving lives is much more important than saving a few dollars. It's basically a given that a local person has lost a friend or family member to an accident on Rt. 24 or knows someone who has. If you drive down the road, you will see more memorials left by loved ones than on any other road I've ever seen- it's very saddening. Please take this petition seriously. We don't want anyone else to die a preventable death.
Thank you,
Erin Fraser
