As you may remember, the Parish Council applied for Oxfordshire County Council’s 20mph project in spring 2022.
The County Council’s wider aim is to make our built environments safer and more attractive places to walk and cycle. To enable this, 20mph speed restrictions are being used to help promote alternative modes of transport for local travel. Further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found on OCC’s website.
The County Council is now asking for your views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit within parts of Caversfield, replacing the 30mph speed limits within the main residential area on Old School Close, Rau Court, and Thompson Drive. Additionally – to support this proposal – a 30mph speed limit is also proposed in place of the existing 40mph on parts of Aunt Ems Lane & Fringford Road.
This will also compliment the proposed speed limit changes being put forward separately as part of the A4095/B4100 junction improvement scheme (see here for details).
