HEADINGTON CYCLE IMPROVEMENTS

Scheme: Access to Headington Cycle Improvements

Client: Oxfordshire County Council 

Dates: March 2018 – September 2019

​

Scope of Works:

​

The work, which included providing improved facilities for pedestrians, public transport and cyclists. Including junction upgrades, improved cycling facilities
and pedestrian crossings. 

​

Due to the large scale of works required at various locations, it was programmed and delivered as a series of individual pieces of work. Thus, ensuring that the phases of works and timings could be coordinated with other planned works in the area in order to minimise disruption. Whilst not an exhaustive list, a summary
of these improvements are:

​

• Improved provision on the hill section of Headley Way

• Mitigation measures at Oxford Road junction to improve safety for pedestrians/cyclists as a result of Swan School development

• New traffic signals and pedestrian crossing installations

• Approximately 8000m2 of additional carriageway surfacing

• Approximately 5000m2 of additional footway surfacing

• Improved segregated cycle and pedestrian amenity throughout Headington

• Tighter kerb radii into side roads and side road entry treatments to encourage slower entry speeds, therefore improving safety

• More planting, trees and landscaping
