We received a petition asking:
"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to force all ramblers/walkers to wave a red flag when walking on a "public road"."

Read the Government's response
The Government has no plans to introduce legislation to force all ramblers/walkers to wave a red flag when walking on a public road.
The Highway Code gives guidance for walkers/ramblers when walking on the road, including the use of high visibility clothing. However, the Government believes that the use of high visibility clothing should remain a matter for individual choice rather than become a legislative requirement.
