Oxfordshire County Council

1. (Oxford Area - Various Streets) (Traffic Management) (Variation No.**) Order 202* 2. (Abingdon, School Streets) (Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 202*

NOTICE is given that Oxfordshire County Council proposes to make the above orders under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and all other enabling powers. The orders are further to the measures in the existing Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders towards making them permanent, to facilitate ongoing support for "School Streets". The effect of the orders is to restrict access for motor vehicles at school drop-off and pick-up times during weekdays in term time only as follows:
A. Oxford:

1. Larkrise Primary School (SS02) - on Boundary Brook Road, at its junction with Iffley Road: from 8.10am to 9am & 2.30pm to 3.30pm,

2. St Ebbes Primary School (SS03) - on Whitehouse Road, at its junction with Marlborough Road: from 8am to 9am & 2.30pm to 3.30pm,

3. Windmill Primary School (SS04) - (i) on Margaret Road, at its junction with St Annes Road, (ii) on Margaret Road, at its junction with Wharton Road, and (iii) on York Road, at its junction with Weyland Road: from 8.20am to 9am & 2.30pm to 3.20pm.

B. Abingdon:

4. St Nicholas Primary School (SS01) - on Boxhill Walk, at its junction with Fitzharrys Road: from 8.10am to 9am & 2.30pm to 3.30pm.

Exemptions* will be put in place for the following users to allow them access to the school site or their residences:
* Emergency services & Waste collection vehicles

* Blue badge holders (disabled persons)

* Taxis collecting or dropping off a fare

* Residents and their regular visitors and carers,

* Council organised home to school transport for students,

* Vehicles for which the County Council may permit access, including certain children in need and/or with behavioural or mobility issues.

* School staff and regular school visitors and school transport vehicles.

* Works to the road and utilities.

* Exempted vehicles would be required to have pre-registered their vehicle registration number for a 'virtual' permit which will grant access during the closure times. This will need to be done at least 48 hours beforehand. Enforcement will be carried out with either a fixed or mobile ANPR camera (automatic number plate recognition) positioned at access points to the school streets, enabling any vehicles that contravene the order to be issued a fixed penalty notice.

Note: The closure may also be periodically staffed by volunteers from the school and local community, helping to manage and marshal the road closures by operating temporary barriers, and opening them for any exempt vehicles.
The Oxfordshire County Council (Oxford Area-Various Streets) (Traffic Management) Order 2022 will be further amended as required.
