Oxford: Railway Lane Development - proposed 20mph speed limit & traffic calming

We're asking for your views on the proposals to introduce a 20mph speed limit on the new (as yet unnamed) road accessing the residential development, leading north-westwards from Railway Lane for a distance of approximately 200 metres. The proposals will help promote road safety for all road users within the estate, and will also ensure adherence to the Councils policy that all new residential developments should see a lower speed limit as standard when appropriate.

Additionally, two Speed Cushion traffic calming features (approx. 2m long, 1.7m wide & 75mm high) will be introduced on Railway Lane, located either side of its junction with Chapel Lane, which have been included in the `Section 278` works for road safety reasons as part of the planning process.

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 04 July 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 later 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).
