There should indeed be pentagons in between the hexagons. It's disappointing.

15000+ Signatures. Shocked Shocked

Momentum appears to have slowed however. And still no response from Mrs May by the looks of it.

I predict that footballs will be given the right to self-identify as being made of hexagons.

17,794 signatures, 5 days with no response, this ball will start to gather moss very soon...

If they don't respond, is there any penalty?

The Government considers the current football symbol has a clear meaning and is understood by the public. Changing the design to show accurate geometry is not appropriate in this context.

The purpose of a traffic sign is not to raise public appreciation and awareness of geometry which is better dealt with in other ways. If the correct geometry were put onto a sign, it would only be visible close up and not from the distance at which drivers will see the sign. The detail of the geometry would also not be taken in by most drivers who were merely looking at the sign for direction. The higher level of attention needed to understand the geometry could distract a driver’s view away from the road for longer than necessary which could therefore increase the risk of an incident.

Official government line: pentagons kill.

Al Beeb belatedly gets on the ball.

"I'm not sure what the DfT thinks a football looks like but they say both: the change would be too small to be noticed and that the correct geometry would be so distracting to drivers it would increase the risk of accidents."

Come onnnnn 100,000.

Possibly not as distracting as a fully fledged Gatso, Truvelo or a SPECS array.
