Roads around Oxford United's Kassam Stadium will close on match days under a temporary traffic order that came into force on 26 October.
Roads around Oxford United's Kassam Stadium will close on match days and authorised event days under a temporary traffic order made by Oxfordshire County Council. The order came into force on 26 October and can remain in place for up to 18 months. It covers the Grenoble Road area, from Robert Robinson Avenue to Guelder Road, and supports Oxford United Football Club's traffic management plan.
On match days or authorised event days, the circulatory roads of four Grenoble Road roundabouts serving the stadium area may be closed. The measure is intended to help traffic move from east to west and west to east while supporters arrive and leave. Waiting, loading and unloading will be banned along the full length of Grenoble Road and at its junctions with side roads. Unrestricted parking areas on the north side will be suspended.
Drivers wanting to use closed junctions will be sent to the stated roundabouts to return on the opposite carriageway. Other Grenoble Road junctions may be closed if needed, while lane closures on local roads may allow one-way traffic. In major operational or emergency situations, all of Grenoble Road will be closed, with alternative routes via the A4074 Henley Road, A4142 Eastern By-Pass and B480 Watlington Road.
