More parking > more traffic > more danger
‘Quiet Lanes’ – rural roads that are closed to through motor traffic – are to be trialled across Oxfordshire. The County Council is looking for 10 pilot locations, to be suggested by parish councils, where an alternative route already exists for cars.
Today’s Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting agreed the policy after hearing that signage-only schemes, asking motorists to slow down, hadn’t worked. One candidate for the new policy will be Shepherd’s Pit Lane near Stanton St John, where cars can use Bayswater Road instead.
A footbridge across Oxford's ring road has closed at short notice. Oxfordshire County Council has closed the Cottesmore Road bridge, which links Rose Hill to Littlemore and Heyford Hill Sainsbury's, after a safety inspection. Diversions are in place.

Oxfordshire Liveable Streets’ Siobhann Mansel-Pleydell said: “We wholeheartedly support the research centre. What we cannot support is the parking. Operational need has been used to justify commercial tenants’ parking. Three women cyclists have been killed at Headington junctions in recent years.”
