Western Valley: B4493 Didcot Road & Harwell Link Road - proposed Pegasus & Toucan crossings

We're asking for your views on the proposal to construct four Pegasus crossings (signal-controlled crossing with special consideration for horse riders) on the approach roads to the B4493 Didcot Road & Harwell Link Road roundabout junction (including the new development access roads). The proposals are being put forward to help improve pedestrian, pedal cyclist & equestrian safety in the area, and will be accompanied by associated footway/cycleway and equestrian route improvements.

UPDATE (02/10/2024) - an amendment to the previous proposals is being put forward, with the planned Pegasus crossing on the Harwell Link Road (south of its roundabout junction with the B4493 Didcot Road) now proposed to be a Toucan crossing (a signal-controlled crossing for use by both pedestrians and pedal cyclists) instead. All other crossings are proposed to remain as Pegasus crossings.

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 25 October 2024.

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 2024. 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).
