Welcome to the Let's Talk Oxfordshire page for the Shepherd's Pit Lane Quiet Lane scheme. The scheme is anticipated to go live from Monday 28 September 2026 and will form part of the council's quiet lane pilot programme. Feedback on the scheme will be collected using a consultation survey from the same date.
Quiet lanes are designated minor roads where motor traffic is reduced to make it safer to walk, wheel, cycle and ride a horse. By removing through traffic, quiet lanes can reduce vehicle numbers and speeds, lower the risk and severity of collisions, and make minor roads feel calmer and safer.
Most through‑traffic is removed using signs, speed limits and physical measures such as bollards or gates. An alternative route must always be available to maintain access for residents, farmers and landowners, local businesses and emergency services.
The Shepherd's Pit Lane quiet lane consists of restricted access for motorised vehicles at its junction with Bayswater Road. Space will be made for people walking, wheeling, cycling and horse riding through this way.
Please come back on Monday 28 September for more information about the quiet lane and to complete the survey which will be live from the same date.
