Oxford roundabout where cyclist killed to be made safer, works to be completed this month Previous remodelling of The Plain roundabout, where Dr Ling Felce was killed in March, was criticised for not doing enough to fully protect people on bikes cycling
Works to make a roundabout in Oxford safer for cyclists following the death of a bike rider there earlier this year are due to start in a fortnight’s time and will be completed by the end of the month, says Oxfordshire County Council.
It is located where three key routes from south and east Oxford, where most of the city’s population lives, meet with those roads – St Clement’s Street, Cowley Road and Iffley Road – then funnelled towards Magdalen Bridge and the city centre. Planned changes include amendments to road markings and traffic signs, installation of road studs, bollards and cycle stands, installing light cycle lane segregation units, and vegetation clearance.
“We want people to feel safe and secure when travelling around the city and county by bike and it’s clear that we need to continue to improve.” “There is this local consultation out called the Local Transport and Connectivity Plan, and I know we should be using that opportunity to call for urgent action faster and sooner to make our roads safer.
