Report by Director for Infrastructure Planning (CMDE9).
The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce a 40mph speed limit on the A41 in the vicinity of its roundabout junction with the A4421 and B4100 at Ambrosden and Bicester as part of the signalisation of this junction. The proposals are being promoted in conjunction with the signalisation of the above roundabout as part of the development of adjacent land for housing and as a result of a technical assessment of the desirable speed limit to help ensure that the junction operates with good levels of safety taking account of the site constraints. The developers are funding the proposals.
The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposals to introduce a 40mph speed limit on the A41 in the vicinity of its roundabout junction with the A4421 and B4100 at Ambrosden and Bicester as part of the signalisation of this junction as advertised.
Decision:
Approved
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Environment considered CMDE9 responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce a 40mph speed limit on the A41 in the vicinity of its roundabout junction with the A4421 and B4100 at Ambrosden and Bicester as part of the signalisation of this junction. The proposals were being promoted in conjunction with the signalisation of the Rodney House/Graven Hill roundabout as part of the development of adjacent land for housing and as a result of a technical assessment of the desirable speed limit to help ensure that the junction operated with good levels of safety taking account of the site constraints.
Acknowledging the objection from the local member Mr Kirkwood advised that the need for a lower limit had been identified as part of a technical safety assessment of the specific junction layout.
Noting those comments along with proposed major development in the area which would involve major changes to the roundabout the Cabinet Member for Environment having regard to the information set out in the report before her confirmed her decision as follows:
to approve proposals to introduce a 40mph speed limit on the A41 in the vicinity of its roundabout junction with the A4421 and B4100 at Ambrosden and Bicester as part of the signalisation of this junction as advertised.
