As a driving instructor that has been working in Oxford for nearly 15 years I feel that these changes will make it so difficult to do my job that I am considering taking all my students to Newbury instead of Oxford. I am based in Didcot so have always had a choice between Oxford and Newbury but until now I've advised my pupils to use Oxford. So if I change my mind and use Newbury instead then I will be taking my business away from Oxford. Fuel, coffee shops and occasional supermarket shopping will be lost.

One of the the Council worse decision ever. Blocking roads put pressure on the other roads & will cause of accidents and incidents

My school journey is taking 1 hour when it used to be 10 minutes. Disgraceful!

Please make sensible decisions to make people's lives easier rather than creating more troubles. Please remove these barriers.
Thanks

It's inconvenient for local residents and queueing traffic will pollute the east oxford.

Owning a small cleaning company in Oxford, this adding on more time & cost to my staffs journeys & barriers don’t show on sat navs!
Maybe put humps in to slow traffic down, not make life more difficult for companies trying to go about their job

I would like to see the council explain the criteria used for choosing the locations of the calming measures, and what data was used in coming to that decision? I did not see any traffic management / collection devices in place before the obstacles were put in place. By the same token if these are an experiment for 6 months, what is now being used to collect new data to see if there is a difference or not? Surely you have to have a starting point and then be able to measure results to prove one way or the other. I can see no evidence of this in any locations.
As has been mentioned elsewhere, this has not resolved perceived heavy traffic areas - it has simply moved the issue elsewhere. This is not a resolution to the so called problem.

This is going to cause chaos around Oxford, the city is going to be a constant gridlock.

It is a waste of money, with no longer journeys to get anywhere. So much for making Cowley and Littlemore better places to live. When the co2 count is going to go through the roof with queueing traffic on 4 majors roads. Well done yet again council for wasting money. Roads are in a poor state!

Instead of traffic filtering between all roads and routes like it has done since the roads were layed. All traffic must now use the same route now, what a joke its never been a problem until now. Its just a problem being created by people who have no idea of the impacts on people's day to day life.

Incredible waste of money. Priority should be given to repair the roads which are a disgrace and in places dangerous.
Complete waste of money.
