Oxford: A44 Woodstock Road - proposed bus lanes

We're asking for your views on the proposals is to formalise the Bus Lanes on the A44 Woodstock Road between the Wolvercote & Peartree roundabouts, and on the access road to the Peartree Park & Ride facility.

These proposals will ensure that the Bus Lanes (as currently marked on-the-ground) are scheduled correctly within the Traffic Regulation Order for enforcement purposes, and do not include any new additional sections to those already installed.

The bus lanes were introduced as part of the ‘North Oxford Corridor’ (NOC) improvement works – which consists of several road improvement projects to support the ongoing housing and employment developments in the area, coupled with the expected economic growth – one aspect was to help improve overall bus journey times and reliability.

Further information on North Oxford corridor improvements can be found here.
