How to find out about road closures and traffic changes proposed in and around Banbury

Residents can check for road closures and traffic updates before many of them are introduced.

Oxfordshire County Council and other highways authorities publish public notices for traffic proposals, including new parking restrictions, yellow lines, speed-limit changes, one-way systems and measures outside schools.

They also publish warnings to motorists and residents about temporary road closures for roadworks, utility installations, construction work or public events.

Where a consultation applies, residents can comment or object before the stated deadline. Feedback can help authorities understand how proposed changes could affect local communities.

Anyone wishing to respond should check the notice carefully for the precise location, supporting documents and submission instructions.

Traffic notices can be found in local newspapers and through the Public Notice Portal, a free online service that allows residents to search by postcode or browse a map to find proposals near them.

Residents can also register for email alerts to ensure they do not miss upcoming traffic changes.
