This consultation has now concluded.

Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire County Councils’ have been working with the Department for Transport (DfT) to determine a package of works to enhance highway safety near to RAF Barford St John, which is in response to a road traffic collision whereby a United States citizen driving on the wrong side of the road collided with a motorcycle, fatally injuring its rider. Identified measures include new infrastructure such as road markings, traffic signs, and traffic calming, as well as enhanced maintenance such as carriageway surfacing.

As part of this DfT ‘United States Visiting Forces road safety initiative’, we're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 40mph speed limit on the A4260 Banbury Road in place of the existing 60mph National speed limit between the 30mph speed limit at Adderbury & the 40mph speed limit at Bodicote. The proposals are being put forward in order to help improve road safety in the vicinity by reducing traffic speeds between Bodicote and Adderbury.

Have your say.

Please read the detailed information provided on this consultation and take the time to complete the survey as your views and opinions matter. Your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 26 July 2024.

Whilst we will endeavor to answer simple queries during the course of the consultation, any more complex questions/issues will be appraised and dealt with as part of consultation process.

What happens next?

The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for later in 2024. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports for meetings will be made available on the Oxfordshire County Council web site about a week before the meeting (please note that occasionally it is necessary to defer reports to a later meeting, and it is therefore advisable to check the agenda ahead of attending a meeting). The Forward Plan of decisions meetings can be viewed here.
