Kidlington: Langford Lane - proposed 30mph speed limit

We're asking for your views on the proposal to extend the existing 30mph speed limit on Langford Lane in Kidlington, westwards to a point 50 metres east of its junction with the southbound carriageway of the A44 Woodstock Road, replacing the entirety of the existing 60mph National speed limit in the process.

The proposals have been put forward as a result of the development of land adjacent to Langford Lane in relation to the ‘Oxford Business Park’, to help mitigate concerns highlighted in the Road Safety Audit due to the lack of a one-metre verge buffer between the footway and the carriageway, so as to ensure the safety of pedestrians & pedal-cyclists in the vicinity of the development.

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 24 April 2026.

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 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).
