Notice of Temporary Traffic Order
Kingham, B4450 Station Road
40mph Speed Limit reduction
Date of Order: 12 May 2025
Coming into force: 18 May 2025
This Order is being introduced for road safety reasons to allow for cable duct works and traffic management to be undertaken safely near the railway station, which is anticipated to be completed 28 April 2026. Regular tests will be undertaken to ensure a safe working environment.
The effect of the Order is to temporarily reduce the national 60mph speed limit to 40mph on the B4450 Station Road from a point 45m south-east of the Station entrance to a point 70m north-west, as the road is insufficiently straight to provide traffic speeds.
Appropriate traffic signs will be displayed to indicate when the measures are in force. The Order will remain in force for a maximum period of 18 months or until the works have been completed whichever is the sooner.
