New speed limit
10:00am Monday 22nd October 2012 in News
A new speed limit will come into force on the B4100 Banbury Road as work starts on a 5,000-home eco-town.
A traffic order comes into effect on November 2, reducing the speed limit from 50mph to 30mph.
Work to create a junction into the eco-town site is expected to take 12 weeks.

the chances of 5000 ECO houses being built in the next 25 years is slim. Cherwell's own figures suggest it could take 50 years. So folks of Bicester prepare for a long drawn out messy affair or as BaECON predict, it wont get built out at all and the likely hood of the first phase failing is a real risk identified by Cherwell themselves.
All in all likely result = WHITE ELEPHANT

Janet, if traffic is funnelled into the bottleneck in front of Bicester Village more slowly, rather than piling into the queue at 50 mph, then yes, it probably will improve the chaos.
