Ref 144
Email% Central section of Marston Ferry Road1 All roads within ring road to include Binsey Lane Richard Mann6 Transport sub-group convener, Low Carbon West Convenery We feel certain roads will need lane narrowing, cycle-lane provision or widening. Detailed letter with numerous comments.
Ref 145
Email. Botley road within the ring road & Binsey Lane• Greatly in favour, reduction in accidents, reduce pollution, encourage physical activity. Strongly feel Botley road & Binsey Lane should be included.
Ref 146
EmailD Binsey Lane should have 30mph speed limit, traffic goes far to fast. Colin Palmer Graham Parkhurst Andrew Bond
Ref 147
Email
Nick Davis\ Terrible idea, as a cyclist would support anything to make commute safer but this is wrong. " Edwin Southern,Kidlington Resident Richard Whittington
Neil Hicks” Is it true 20mph would be unenforceable in law, not to mention unenforced because police don't have resources. Why should we have a two tier system.
Tricia Hallam` I do not think it is sensible to impose a 20mph limit on arterial routes, if you wish people to comply with speed limits they need to be fixed at appropriate levels. I note that at the same time as the consultation it has been announced in th Oxford Times changes to speed limits including arterial routes, I hope this consultation is not just a sham.
Ref 126
Email Good idea. Many larger vehicles break the speed limit in evenings & overnight and make the buildings shake. Can't work out where the 20mph ends in London Road, it must include At Andrew's school, Bury Knowle health centre, the park entrance & the old peoples home.
Ref 127
Email‹ Good idea, but I think better provision should be made for cyclists. Old Road will still be dangerous for cyclists to get to Cheney school.
Ref 128
Email Arterial roadst It is essential to reduce speed in residential areas, therefore roads that pass through them should also be reduced.
Ref 129
EmailP All roads within city boundary. Roads in west Oxford. Henley Avenue & Rose Hill.D A blanket 20mph or nothing. All residents should be treated equally.
Ref 130
Email! All roads that are not main roadsÞ Fantastic around schools, but reduction in speed will be bad for the envirionment.Put this together with the stupid ideas for the traffic plan & chaos will ensue. Make all roads 20mph except main routes to avoid confusion.
Ref 131
Email I am delighted you are considering extending 20mph into the County, could I urge you to introduce 20mph into Kidlington especially School Road.
Ref 132
Emailà Unnecessary, roads in question natural 20mph due to parked cars & other obstructions. Waste of money. Prefer money spent on enforcing existing crimes. Drivers concentration would be on their speedometer rather than the road.
Ref 133
Email½ Complete wasre of money, not legally enforceable so will be ignored. Extra signage will be an eyesore. Traffic problems will increase to the detriment of public transport & private vehicles
Ref 134
Email All of themš Spend the money on educating people on the basics of road safety & cyclists on obeying traffic laws & law enforcement. Ridiculous 30mph is perfectly safe.
Ref 135
Email/ All but those within half a mile of city centre Spend the money on public transport, improve cycle lanes. Drivers will get annoyed & spend longer getting anywhere. The area is too widespread.
Ref 136
Email
Waste of time
Ref 137
EmailÆ No change should be made. No anaylysis of true cost & benefits has been presented. Signage will spoil the City. It will be uneforceable. Waste of taxpayers money, scheme should be entirely rejected.
Ref 138
Email
Ref 148
Email
Ref 149
Email Main roads should be excludedÚ Although agrees that 20mph limits may be appropriate in some roads, not supportive of widespread use - could result in frustration and less safe behaviour, and also grievance if enforced , and also increase pollution Micahel Rimmer² Morrell Avenue, Warneford, Old Headington, Bayswater, Parks, Crowell, Littlemore Roads, Headington Hill, Longwall Street, Cuddesdon Road & Cowley Road (Littlemore), Sandford Road Rose Hill, Iffley Road between Boundary Brook Road & Percy St, Abingdon Road north of Hinksey Park. Botley outside the ring road.ø Save the money & enforce existing 30mph & parking restrictions. What evidence of numbers of accidents between 20 - 30mph. Traffic congestion, road obsructions & parked cars particularly in east Oxford is the problem, 20mph will not alleviate these.
Ref 139
Email Mary Russell[ In the interests of safety, urge the council to impose 20mph on side streets & Botley Road.
Ref 140
Email¦ For many years the residents have been wanting a 20mph speed limit. There are many parked cars in this street in the interest of safety, speed reduction is important.
Ref 118
Email 30mph is safe and the responsibilty of the driver to go slower when necessary. 20mph will upset drivers and will not be followed./ Marston Road from St Clements to Cherwell Drive Ref 119

Feedback formc Abingdon, Botley, Iffley, Oxpens, Donnington Bridge Roads, Thomas, Speedwell Streets, Hollybush Rowk Overcomplicated moving from 20 to 30mph zone on one road, will make it less likely that drivers will comply Ref 122
Feedback form Banbury, Parks, Woodstock, Botley, Marston, Windmill, Abingdon, South Parks Roads, St Clements, Headington Hill, Headley Way & Morrell Avenue Unnecessarily overbearing, most traffic is speed limited, there are few places that you can drive at 20mph. I'd rather have a congestion charge.( Proposed Oxford City 20mph Speed Limits.% Sugested changes to include any roads% Sugested changes to exclude any roads General Comments Oxford Resident Group Representative Yes* Councillor Mike Gotch, Oxford City Council Oxford City Council Ref No. & Type of response Ref 1
