Speed limits to be cut along Bicester Ring Road near Langford

Posted on 28-Jan-2022 by Chris A

Improved road safety and longer journey times on routes around Bicester could be on the way – with speed restrictions to be cut from 50mph to 40mph in most places.

The section of the ring road that borders Langford Village is among the stretches where Oxfordshire County Council is suggesting drivers should see top speed cut from the existing 50mph limit to a new 40mph maximum.

All roads marked in RED will have a 40mph speed limit

The idea of having a 40mph limit along most of the ring road is now out for consultation and your views are invited. Click here to read more and see details on how to comment.

The section of the A41 between the Tesco roundabout and Graven Hill roundabout will also see a speed limit cut – from 60mph to 50mph.

Posted on 10-Jun-2021 by Chris A

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is London-Road-crossing.jpg — London Road level crossing in Bicester

To read the document that Langford Village Community Association has submitted to the East West Rail Consultation please click here. We are making the case for the London Road route to remain open to vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists. Our residents have indicated they most prefer a new road bridge being built alongside the existing road, for use when the level crossing is permanently closed because of increased rail services.
