Wolvercote Speeding Petition
We hereby request the council to urgently:
• Prioritise and emphasise the notification of the 20mph speed limit in Wolvercote with the installation of several flashing speed reactive signs “20 SLOW DOWN” and
• Restrict the speed that vehicles (including buses, trucks and motorbikes) can drive in the village with the installation of speed cushions (concrete) as a matter of urgency, but in particular on both approaches to Godstow Bridge, Wolvercote Green road and between Elmthorpe road and Home Close.
Why is this important?
We the signatories to this petition are increasingly concerned about the volume and speed of road traffic through Wolvercote. In particular, it is increasing the risk of a serious accident involving residents, pedestrians and schoolchildren walking or cycling to school. The frustration of some drivers to exceed the 20mph speed limit is further linked to trying to catch or beat the Godstow road traffic lights or avoid the traffic jams on the A34.
