Bladon & Long Hanborough: A4095 Main Road - proposed 40mph speed limit

We're asking for your views on the proposals to replace the existing 50mph speed limit on the A4095 Main Road between Bladon & Long Hanborough in its entirety with a new 40mph speed limit. The proposals have been put forward for road safety reasons, supported by local Bladon and Hanborough councillors. Recent speed surveys show a 40mph speed limit is more appropriate, and aligns with the County Councils goal of reducing road casualties.

This proposal forms part of the ‘Vision Zero’ A & B road speed limit review, with wider consultation on speed limit amendments – including other sections of the A4095 – taking place at a later date, although no further changes are expected between Bladon and Witney. Further information on ‘Vision Zero’ can be found here.

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 03 July 2026.

Whilst we will endeavour 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 2026. 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).
