Transport Strategy 

The City Council has implemented changes to the roads in Oxford to reduce air pollution and to allow buses priority access to the city. It is aimed to encourage the use of the Park & Ride scheme and use of the Oxford Ring Road.

Some main points to note:

• Motorists may not use the High Street to travel from east to west as previously.
• The road arrangements near the Station have been improved by the introduction of sets of traffic lights.
• Cyclists will find new routes into town in operation and priority at many traffic lights.
• Many bus stops have changed location now as a result. Keep an eye out for changes.
• There have been changes to the orange badge parking areas.
