Milton Heights/Steventon: A4130 - proposed Traffic & Highway Improvements

We're asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a number of traffic measures in order to help facilitate the delivery of the 'A4130 Steventon Lights integrated transport scheme' and these include:

1. Reduced 30mph speed limits on the A4130 & B4017 Steventon Hill,
2. new Bus Lanes on the A4130 eastbound carriageway, with exemptions to include for cycles, emergency services, and Taxi & private hire vehicles, and
3. ‘No U-Turn’ restrictions will also be introduced for westbound traffic (i.e. travelling from the A34 Milton Interchange) at the signalised junctions with Trenchard Avenue & the B4017 Steventon Hill.

The ‘A4130 Steventon Lights’ integrated transport scheme, seeks to provide improved bus journey time savings and reliability, enhanced walking and cycling facilities, and support the growth in both housing and employment in the Science Vale area. The area will see significant growth in housing and employment in the coming years and investment is needed now so that the transport network can meet the demands. Further information on the wider scheme can be found here.

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 06 March 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). The Forward Plan of decisions meetings can be viewed here.
