===============================

OCC are writing to seek your views on the proposal to introduce a 50mph speed limit on the A420 Swindon to Oxford road in place of existing sections of 60mph National limit in order as to create a continuous limit between Bourton & Hinton Waldrist, joining up with the section eastwards to the start of the Southmoor/Kingston Bagpuize bypass. Additional speed limit amendments will also be made on roads adjoining the A420 in order to help facilitate continuity of the new limit; Faringdon Road (Watchfield), Fernham Road (Little Coxwell), Park Road and London Street (Faringdon), and the A417 Stanford Road from Faringdon).
 
The proposals are being put forward for road safety reasons and are part of the County Council's commitment to ‘Vision Zero’, which includes the elimination of deaths & serious injuries from road traffic collisions in Oxfordshire by 2050. The Vision Zero programme aims to ensure the highway network is safely designed, implemented and maintained. Vision Zero focuses on a whole safe system approach, rooted in the belief that every death reflects a human failure in the system. This ensures that the programme is not just a technical solution but also encourages a behaviour change and cultural shift towards a more human-based approach to road safety. Further details are available here.
 
Details are available to view on the Councils consultation portal at the address below:

Any objections or other representations on the proposals should be submitted by Friday 23rd August 2024.
