Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

39 Status of road humps.
(1) Where a road hump conforms to regulations under section 38 of this Act and the further condition mentioned in subsection (2) below as being applicable is satisfied, the road hump shall not be treated as constituting an obstruction to the road but as part of the road, so that in particular—
(a) the obligation of any person to maintain the road, and
(b) the obligation of any person having power to break open the road to make good any damage or otherwise reinstate the road,
extend to maintaining or, as the case may be, to making good any damage to, or otherwise reinstating, the road hump.
(2) The further condition applicable is that either—
(a) the road concerned is for the time being subject to a statutory speed limit for motor vehicles of 30 miles per hour or less; or
(b) the road hump is authorised.
(3) In relation to an authorised road hump the reference in subsection (1) above to conformity with regulations shall be construed as a reference to conformity with the conditions attached to the authorisation.
(4) In so far as it does not apply apart from this subsection section 117 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (restricting road works following substantial works for roads purposes) applies in relation to the construction, maintenance and removal of a road hump as if the works were executed for road purposes and were mentioned in subsection (3) of that section and as if the person executing them were the promoting authority within the meaning of that section.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
