There are only a few days left for the public to have their say on speed limit changes in Bicester.

Oxfordshire County Council is asking for the public’s views on a proposal to replace sections of the current 40mph speed limit on all approaches to Banbury Road junction, Bicester.

The consultation closes at 5pm on Friday, August 11.

A spokesperson for the council said: “We’re asking for your views on the proposal to replace sections of the current 40mph speed limit on all the approaches to the A4095 Lord Lane, B4100 Banbury Road junction, with a 30mph speed limit proposed on the B4100 Banbury Road, B4100 Bicester to Aynho road, A4095 Lords Lane, and the A4095 Southwold Lane.

“Additionally, the 40mph speed limit on Fringford Road will also be reduced to 30mph from its junction with the A4095, northwards to a point 100 metres south of its junction with Aunt Ems Lane.

“A flat top road hump will also be constructed across Fringford Road at its junction with the A4095 Southwold Lane.

“The proposals are being put forward as part of a planned major improvement works at the roundabout, which are aimed in particular to help improve the safety and amenity for vulnerable road-users, specifically pedestrians and cyclists.”
