The petition was started on behalf of the girls' father by family friend Kelli Foster, who said she was aware of young people racing cars on Summit Road and it was time for change. As well as guardrails, Foster said the road would ideally also have a lower speed limit, speed bumps and barriers that could lock drivers out on weekends. "It would mean that lives were saved and that both Tayla and Sunmara didn't die in vain." Those safety improvements include a guardrails, motorcycle underrun-rails, a wider sealed section on road shoulders and additional space for cyclists.
