40MPH Speed Limit For Thame By-pass

A 40mph speed limit along a stretch of the Thame by-pass is to be progressed during the next financial year.
The news was confirmed by Area Traffic Engineer for Oxfordshire County Council, Peter Ronald, at a recent meeting of the Thame Traffic Advisory Committee who have been asking for a speed reduction between the Chinnor Rugby Club roundabout and the Aylesbury Road roundabout, following a series of minor accidents and near-misses particularly involving traffic leaving Cromwell Avenue at peak times.
The proposal will now go to consultation with the emergency services who are not expected to object.
The current speed limit along this stretch is 50 mph.
