Sibford Ferris proposed 20mph Speed Limits

From Oxon CC, 27 June:

CONSULTATION – Sibford Ferris proposed 20mph Speed Limits

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 introduce a 20mph speed limit throughout Sibford Ferris, replacing the existing 30mph speed limit in its entirety in the process. The proposals are being put forward following concerns raised by the parish 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. In light of this please find the following consultation documents attached:

• Sibford Ferris 20mph Speed Limit – PUBLIC NOTICE
