Traffic changes at Ducklington roundabout
Changes to speed limit, parking and footpath at Ducklington roundabout
The proposed changes to reduce traffic speed on the roundabout and its approach along the A415 are now underway, also the double yellow lines to prevent parking along New Close Lane.
Ducklington Parish Council has been asking for a 30mph speed limit on the roundabout for some time, along with a reduction from 60mph to 50mph on the stretch of the A415 between the roundabout and Cokethorpe school - this is the only stretch between Ducklington and Abingdon not to have reduced, 50mph speed limit. This is particularly important now that road and foot traffic will be increased as a result of the hotel and retail developments on the roundabout. However, the Highways department at Oxfordshire County Council, who decide such things, were not in agreement. Should you have views on this please do get in touch with them .
The Parish Council's request for a pedestrian crossing on the A415 southern approach was also disregarded by the Highways department and we understand 'islands' are being installed at that point to assist safe crossing of the road. Again, if you would like to see safer crossing arrangements, please share your views with Oxfordshire County Council.
