What is happening?
OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
(CARTERTON) (SPEED LIMITS) ORDER 20**
NOTICE is given that Oxfordshire County Council proposes to make the above order under Section 84 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and all other enabling powers. The effect of the order – to help improve road safety on local roads – is to introduce a 20mph speed limit within Carterton, replacing the majority of the 30mph speed limit in the town in the process.
Following a review by Officers, 30mph speed limits will remain in place on the following:
1. Numbered roads:
• B4020 Burford Road (excepting a section by Carterton Primary School), B4020 Shilton Road, B4477 Monahan Way, B4477 Upavon Way (excepting a section by the Carterton Community College).
2. Unnumbered roads:
• Alvescot Road; Black Bourton Road, Burford Road south of its junction with Arkell Avenue; Brize Norton Road, Broadshires Way, Carterton Road, Duxford Close, Shilton Road, and Stanmore Crescent
* These proposals supersede those in August/September 2025, and are as a result of the decision made at the Cabinet Member for Transport decisions meeting in July 2026 – at which the decision was deferred to allow for further public consultation on amended proposals.
The Oxfordshire County Council (Carterton) (Speed Limits) Order 2022 will be revoked/replaced as necessary.
Documents giving more details of the proposals are available for public inspection online by visiting: https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk Copies may be made available on request.
Objections to the proposals and other representations specifying the grounds on which they are made may be sent in writing to the address below by the end of 23 October 2026. The Council will consider objections and representations received in response to this Notice. They may be disseminated widely for these purposes and made available to the public.
