Lower speed limit planned for A41
The section of the A41 Bicester Road, where three people lost their lives last week, will have its speed limit reduced in the coming months.
The Kingswood stretch of the road, which runs between Aylesbury and Bicester, will become a 40mph zone in a move due to be implemented during the summer.
It currently has the national speed limit.
The decision to reduce the speed limit was taken before the crash on Sunday, July 18.
There had been four collisions on that particular stretch of road in the past three years.
In total, there have been 41 collisions on the A41 Bicester Road over that period, seven of which have resulted in people being killed or seriously injured.
This does not take into account the recent crash.
Users of the Bucks Herald website called for these measures to be put into place after hearing about the collision.
NicT said: "It is about time that the A41 was made 50mph with the most dangerous sections being double white lines, or even average speed cameras being placed along the road.
"The road has become more of a hazard over the years."
