OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL (CUXHAM WITH EASINGTON PARISH) (SPEED LIMITS) ORDER 20** NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Oxfordshire County Council proposes to make the above order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and all other enabling powers. The effect of the order - due to road safety concerns raised by the Parish Council - is to initially introduce a ‘signed only’ (phase 1) 20mph speed limit throughout Cuxham village. The existing 30mph area will be reduced except on the un-named road to Brightwell Baldwin west & east of the junction with Turners Green Lane. Depending on the results of phase 1, a second phase of the scheme would see traffic calming measures being introduced as a trial to accompany the signed limit to create a ‘zone’, and these would comprise of the following measures: Trial Planters to be located approximately*: • B480 o at the speed limit terminal point 130 metres north of the un- named Road to Brightwell Baldwin o at the junction with the B480 & the un-named road to Brightwell Baldwin, o east of the access to ‘The Old Rectory’, reducing the road width to 5 metres, o outside ‘The Thatch’, reducing the road width to 4 metres, o outside ‘Brightwell Cottage’, reducing the road with to 5 metres, o outside ‘Merton Cottage’, reducing the road width to 5 metres, and o at the speed limit terminal point at the eastern edge of the village. • Un-named Road to Brightwell Baldwin o At the terminal point 161 metres southwest of the B480. Trial White Posts to be located approximately*: • B480 o outside ‘Kimble Cottage’, to highlight road corner o opposite ‘Yew Tree Cottage’, to warn drivers of bend, and o outside ‘Mill View’, to protect parked vehicles and reduce width of carriageway. Additionally, the road space immediately outside the Public House will be utilised, effectively reducing the road width to 4.8 metres. * note: The exact position of the traffic calming features can be adjusted following on site discussion with the Parish Council & local residents. The Oxfordshire County Council (Restricted Roads) (Cuxham with Easington Parish) Order 1999 will be revoked/replaced.
