Around 40 residents are campaigning for a safer junction at Rose Hill, Henley Avenue, and Church Cowley Road in Oxford. This came following the presentation of a petition to the council, signed by almost 600 locals, calling for improvements. There were also speeding vehicles, motorists taking shortcuts down the slip road to bypass the lights, alongside motorists and cyclists ignoring red traffic signals from all three roads.
