OCC Consultation: Kingston Blount proposed 20mph speed limit
Oxfordshire County Council is using 20mph speed restrictions to change driving habits; further details on how the council is considering making 20mph the new 30mph for Oxfordshire communities can be found here.
It’s therefore asking for views on the proposal to introduce a 20mph speed within Kingston Blount, replacing the majority of the existing 30mph speed limits in process. Sections of existing 30mph speed limit on the B4009 Crowell Road between Kingston Blount and Crowell, and the existing 50mph speed limit on the B4009 Chinnor Road between Kingston Blount and Aston Rowant will remain in place, with officers having taken the current road environment and traffic usage into account.
The proposals are being put forward following road safety concerns raised by the parish, 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:
- Public Notice,
- Statement of Reasons,
- Consultation Plan(s), and
- Draft Traffic Regulation Order(s).
The proposed Traffic Regulation Order is scheduled to be advertised in the Oxford Times newspaper today; Thursday 4th April 2024, and details are also available to view on the Councils consultation portal at the address below:

As stated on the notice, any objections or other representations on the proposal should be submitted by Friday 26th April 2024.
