Your petition does not even mention pedestrians. I'd never have guessed they were included from the petition text you provided.
I suspect your petition might be a bit broad. Spending more on roads is something most politicians from the party in power would already claim they are doing (truth being irrelevant to most politicians).
If you were to get your petition wishes granted based on the petition text, what do you think would happen? Big improvement in roads allowing every more cars and lorries ... Why not add something about trains so people don't have to use their cars, or buses ...?
To me the aims you are outlining are a bit like a Ms World contestant being interviewed "I just want world peace". Do you want more spent on roads to relieve congestion for lorries or so we can accommodate more cars. Do you consider that more city centres should be pedestrianised or are you wanting wider pavements, etc. Many many questions so if it were my petition I'd be trying to be more specific about what I really wanted.
