Oxford Road corridor

Access arrangements

The Primary access to the site will be via a new four-arm signal junction designed to serve both PR6a and PR6b located to the south of the current St. Frideswide farm access.

• The Primary access to the site will be via a new four-arm signal junction designed to serve Water Eaton (PR6a) and PR6b located to the south of the current St. Frideswide farm access.
• Two signal junction designs are being considered, a standard signal junction and a more cycle friendly signal junction known as a CYCLOPS junction.
• The final design will be agreed with Oxfordshire County Council following ongoing capacity testing, with the intention to deliver a junction which maximises pedestrian and cycle usage, without creating unacceptable delay to public transport and other users.
• Both of the signal controlled junctions have been designed in such a way that they can come forward as part of a phased delivery to the east and west of Oxford Road.

Secondary access

A secondary access in the form of a simple Left in Left out priority T-junction is proposed to the north of the existing Water Eaton Estate access road.

The left in left out configuration is Oxfordshire County Council’s preference and allows residents and school buses / coaches to arrive from the north, whilst minimising conflicts between right turning traffic and cyclists.
