2. (CHERWELL, OXFORDSHIRE – VARIOUS ROADS) (MAP BASED) (TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT) (VARIATION NO.*) ORDER 20**
NOTICE is 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 orders – as a result of the planned construction & signalisation of a new road & junction in Heyford Park – is as follows:
A. New 20mph speed limits on the following roads, replacing sections of the existing 30mph speed limit in the process:
-
Camp Road & Upper Heyford Road (running eastwards) – extend the existing 20mph eastwards to a point 120 metres east of its junction with the new Chilgrove Drive.
-
(New) Chilgrove Drive – for a distance of 95 metres northwards from its junction with Camp Road/Upper Heyford Road.
-
Un-named road running southwards – for a distance of 85 metres from its junction with Camp Road.
B. New 30mph speed limits on the following roads, replacing sections of the existing 60mph National speed limit in the process:
-
Upper Heyford Road – from a point 120 metres east of its junction with the new Chilgrove Drive, eastwards for a distance of 300 metres.
-
Un-named road running southwards – from a point 85 metres south of its junction with Camp Road, southwards for a distance of 300 metres.
C. Introduce a new ‘Prohibition of Motor Vehicles’ restriction on the old Chilgrove Drive, extending northwards from its junction with Camp Road/Upper Heyford Road for its entire length of public highway. Access will be retained for Emergency service vehicles (including Police Vehicles on general patrol duties), Utility vehicles, Highway Maintenance vehicles, and for those vehicles requiring legitimate access (including for agricultural purposes) to land adjacent to the closure.
D. Construction of a new Pegasus crossing (signalised crossing for use by pedestrians & horse riders) on Camp Road, to be located at the junction with the old Chilgrove Drive.
E. Finally, new 3 metre-width Shared use foot & cycle paths to be introduced on either side of Camp Road adjacent to the proposed new crossing, and on the northern side of Upper Heyford Road, east of its junction with the new Chilgrove Drive.
The Oxfordshire County Council (Upper Heyford and Heyford Park Parishes) (Speed Limits) Order 2024 will be revoked/replaced as necessary, and the Oxfordshire County Council (Cherwell, Oxfordshire – Various Roads) (Map Based) (Traffic Management) Order 2026 will be further amended replacing Map Tiles CK67, CL67 & CM67 in the process.
