Sutton Courtenay: B4016 Drayton Road - proposed 30mph speed limit & traffic calming

We're asking for your views on the proposals to extend the existing 30mph speed limit on the B4016 Drayton Road in Sutton Courtenay. The proposals extend the existing limit westwards by approximately 70 metres, reducing the existing 40mph speed limit in the process, and are being put forward following road safety concerns raised by the Parish council

The extended speed limit will be accompanied by a new traffic features to help ensure compliance, and will feature a traffic calming chicane with associated priority buildouts that reduce the width of the carriageway to 3.2 metres. Traffic travelling eastwards into the village will be required to give-way to traffic exiting the village westwards.

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 17 February 2023.

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.
