Oxford: Boswell Road - proposed parking restrictions & traffic calming

We're asking for your views on the proposal to construct a new traffic-calming ‘buildout’ feature to be located on the eastern side of Boswell Road, adjacent to the footpath linking through to John Smith Drive. The ‘buildout’ will give priority to road traffic travelling north-eastwards from Barns Road, with vehicles travelling south-westwards required to give-way.

To help facilitate the new feature, additional ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking restrictions will be introduced on either side of the road, between its junctions with Barns Road & Frederick Road, which will help avoid obstruction & congestion around the proposed buildout and ensure good visibility for pedestrians wishing to cross.

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 28 February 2025.

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 early in 2025. 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).
