Thank you for your correspondence received on 16 November 2020 in which
you asked for the following information:

Please provide me with any data / report that seeks to establish which
locations in Oxford suffer from the highest levels of traffic and, in
particular, congestion. I make this request by reference to Oxfordshire
County Council's plans to create multiple low traffic neighbourhood in
Oxford. Does the council, in fact, actually know which neighbourhoods
actually have high levels of traffic / congestion, which may form the
basis for deciding which (if any) LTNs to introduce?

If no such data exists, please confirm this also.

Your request is being considered and you will receive the information
requested as soon as possible and in any event within the next 20 working
days in compliance with the Environmental Information Regulations
2004/Freedom of Information Act 2000, unless an exception applies. This
means that the council will respond to you by the end of 15 December 2020
at the latest.

If appropriate, the information requested can be made available in
alternative formats, including other languages, Braille, large print, and
audiocassette. If you require any of these formats then please let me
know.

The Council collects a large amount of data related to traffic levels and
congestion.  This is available to view on our website
[1]https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents...

In terms of reports The Council produced an annual congestion monitoring
report until 2015.  The most recent version is attached, document titled,
‘Ox City & OCC Congestion Monitoring 2015-16.pdf’ and a survey was
undertaken in 2012 to ascertain the extent to which ‘rat-running’ was
taking place in the Crescent Road area of Oxford.  Please see attached,
Excel spreadsheet titled ‘Crescent Road Rat Run Survey.xlsx’.

Informal observations have also been undertaken in the areas covered by
the proposed LTNs.
