Camera enforcement traffic management measures consultation

Following completion of this consultation, the consultation report is available on the right of this page.

Implementation of traffic management measures – consultation (Traffic Management Act Part 6 (2004)) – sites for camera enforcement 

We want to ensure that Oxfordshire’s roads remain as safe and accessible as possible. As part of the measures being introduced in Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire County Council will be implementing measures to install cameras on Oxfordshire’s roads where known violations are occurring.

This consultation is surrounding the first tranche of sites identified. Future consultations will be held seeking views on additional restriction camera enforcement sites when identified.

We intend to apply for the powers from the Department for Transport to enable us to enforce moving vehicle violations identified within Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act This is to enable us to undertake camera enforcement of traffic restrictions at key sites.

Using intelligence provided by Thames Valley Police, traffic and congestion monitoring and members of the public the council has identified a number of sites they consider appropriate for enforcement on the basis of ensuring the safety of road users and to minimise congestion on the road network.

The purpose of these powers are to better enforce existing restrictions, not to introduce new restrictions, at this stage. There is the opportunity, once we have the powers, to camera enforce new restrictions where required. Any new sites will be subject to full public consultation.

The potential sites identified for camera enforcement are:

1. The rising bollard site located in Oriel Square, Oxford
2. The rising bollard site located on Cornmarket Street, Oxford
3. The rising bollard site located on Turl Street, Oxford
4. The rising bollard site located on Broad Street, Oxford
5. The junction of Turl Street and High Street, Oxford
6. The banned U-turn at Barton Park on (A40)
7. The junction of Holywell Street and Longwall Street, Oxford
8. New College Lane/ Queens Lane, Oxford
9. The pedestrianised area of Gloucester Street, Oxford
10. Yellow box junctions located on the Botley Interchange
11. Yellow box junctions located on the Hinksey Hill Interchange
