Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy – Highways & Transport (CMDT4).

 

 

 

 

The Cabinet Member for Transport considered three speed limit amendments at Adderbury – Berry Hill Road (extension of 30 mph limit), Hailey – B4022 between Hailey and Witney (introduction of 40 mph limt) and Oxford – A40 Oxford northern bypass east of Cutteslowe roundabout (introduction of a 50 mph limit for a distance of 750m) all of which had been identified following implementation of new speed limits arising from the speed limit review on the County’s A and B roads carried out in 2011.

 

Councillor Fooks supported the proposals for the northern bypass and the need to reduce speeds near the Cutteslowe roundabout but expressed some regret that the restriction could not be extended further east.

 

The Cabinet Member for Transport noted that the local member for Bloxham had expressed opposition to the proposals for the Adderbury – Berry Hill Road.

 

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, the representations made to him and the further considerations set out above the Cabinet Member for Transport confirmed his decision as follows to approve the speed limit changes as advertised and shown in plans A, B and C annexed to the report CMDT4
