A junction at the entrance of a new development is to have speed cameras installed after several collisions and near-misses.
Oxfordshire County Council said the Barton Park pelican crossing on the A40 junction in Headington, Oxford, had been “dogged by dangerous drivers”.
It said the cameras would be installed over four nights from Monday “to deter motorists from speeding and driving through red lights”.
Gareth Epps, cabinet member for transport, said it would be “extremely welcome news to everyone who lives in or visits this area and needs to cross this road”.
“Excessive speeds and red-light jumping are genuine concerns at this location, with a video survey showing how widespread the problem is,” he said.
Motorists “who follow the rules will have nothing to fear” but those showing “disregard for others’ safety by breaking them will face the consequences”, he added.
