A NEW permanent 40mph speed limit has been proposed for the A4130.

Oxfordshire County Council has proposed to make permanent the existing temporary restrictions in place on the A4130 Calvin Thomas Way in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, next to Wallingford.

The proposals are being put forward as a result of the development of adjacent land for residential purposes and with the construction of a new access junction.

The changes proposed include introducing a 40mph speed limit on the A4130 Calvin Thomas Way from the Slade End roundabout southwards to the Hithercroft roundabout.

The proposed changes also include a ‘No Right Turn’ restriction for traffic entering and leaving the St Edwards Homes housing development access road onto the A4130 Calvin Thomas Way.

The ‘No Right Turn’ restriction will mean redirected traffic will have to turn at the roundabouts.
