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.
