FORMAL CONSULTATION ON THE PROPOSAL BY OXFORSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL TO DESIGNATE CERTAIN STREETS AS TRAFFIC-SENSITIVE UNDER THE STREET WORKS (REGISTERS, NOTICES, DIRECTIONS AND DESIGNATIONS (ENGLAND) REGULATIONS 2007

Under section 64 of New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 a Street Authority may designate certain streets (or parts of streets) as Traffic-Sensitive.

In accordance with Traffic Management Act 2004 and the Streetworks (Registers, Notices, Directions and Designations) (England) Regulations 2007, I am pleased to invite your views on the proposed designation of certain Oxfordshire streets as Traffic-Sensitive.

From time to time the designations of streets as Traffic-Sensitive is reviewed in consultation with Utility companies, and other interested parties.

In addition, the government has decided to proceed with amending regulations to remove the criteria: ‘is designated by the HA as part of its winter maintenance programme’; ‘is on a tourist route or within an area where major events take place’; and ‘is covered by a congestion charge’, so in response, Oxfordshire County Council has recently completed a review of its Traffic-Sensitive Network.

This Traffic-Sensitive network has been developed using the guideline criteria identified in Section 5 of the Department for Transport’s document ‘New Roads and Street Works Act 1991: Code of Practice for the Co-ordination of Street Works and Works for Road Purposes and Related Matters August 2009’.
