CONSULTATION – Didcot (South) proposed 20mph Speed Limits

Oxfordshire County Council Consultation

Oxfordshire County Council wants to make our built environments safer and more attractive places to walk and cycle. To enable this, 20mph speed restrictions are being used to help promote alternative modes of transport for local travel. Further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found here.

We're therefore asking for your views on the proposal to extend the 20mph speed limit within the 'Ladygrove' area of Didcot (see details here), to cover that part of the town largely located south of the railway line, replacing the majority of the remaining 30mph speed limit in the town in the process. Sections of existing 30mph speed limit will remain on parts of the main routes through the town, including the A4130, B4016, B4493, and Park Road – with Officers having taken the current road environment into account. Additionally, the 40mph & 50mph speed limits on the A4130, B4016 & B4493, and the Didcot Northern Perimeter Road will remain unaffected by these proposals.

The proposals are being put forward following concerns raised by the town over road safety, and form part of a countywide programme of works that seeks to deliver 'a safer place with a safer pace' for the residents of Oxfordshire.

Any objections or other representations on the proposal should be submitted by Friday 13th December 2024.
