Oxford - Temporary Road Closures & Parking Restrictions for Football Matches & Events
What is happening?
OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 – SECTION 14(1)
Notice of Temporary Traffic Order
Prohibition of Driving and Waiting Oxford, Grenoble Road area Date of Order: 19 October 2026 Coming into force: 26 October 2026
This Order is being introduced in support of the Traffic Management Plan for Oxford United Football Club. It is designed for road safety reasons and practicality to aid the managed traffic flow around football supporter arrivals and leaving times. The order is promoted by Michelle Walton, Safety Officer, Oxford United FC, Grenoble Road, OX4 4XP mwalton@oufc.co.uk
The plan is effectively to close on match days or other authorised events, the circulatory roads of the four Grenoble Road roundabouts serving the Kassam Stadium area from Robert Robinson Avenue to Guelder Road, to allow the continuous free flow of traffic from east to west and vice-versa.
Waiting and loading/unloading will also be prohibited in the full length of Grenoble Road and at its junctions with side roads. The unrestricted parking areas along the north side of the road will be suspended.
Vehicles wishing to use the closed junctions will be directed to the stated roundabouts to return on the opposite carriageway. Some additional junctions serving Grenoble Road may be closed if/as required and lane closures may be implemented on local roads to enable one-way traffic.
If major operational or emergency procedures apply, the whole of Grenoble Road will be closed and the alternative route will be via A4074 Henley Road, A4142 Eastern By-Pass, B480 Watlington Road and vice versa.
Appropriate traffic signs will be displayed to indicate when and where the measures are in force. Exemptions are included for emergency services and for traffic management operations, and for access to premises which are only accessible from the closed sections of road. This Order will remain in force for a maximum period of 18 months.
