The number of community safety zones is going up in Oxford County.
OXFORD COUNTY - 8 new safety zones are coming to Oxford County.
The new zones were chosen based on an eligibility and evaluation process, along with consultation with area municipalities. Over the course of the year, the zones will be installed in Ingersoll, Tavistock, Norwich, Embro, and Woodstock. Ingersoll, Tavistock, Norwich, and Woodstock's Parkinson Road will be installed this month, and Devonshire Ave will be implemented after the construction is complete later this year.
The exact areas that will become safety zones are:
- Ingersoll: Oxford Road 10 (Ingersoll Street North) from Bell Street to Victoria Street and Oxford Road 11 9 (Bell Street) from Ingersoll Street North to Cashel Street
- Woodstock: Oxford Road 15 (Parkinson Road) from Mill Street to Norwich Avenue, and Oxford Road 35 (Devonshire Avenue) from Vansittart Avenue to Huron Street
- Tavistock: Oxford Road 24 (Hope Street West) from Woodstock Street to the 50 km/h limit West, and Hope Street East from Woodstock Street to the 50 km/h limit East
- Norwich: Oxford Road 18 (Main Street West) from Florence Street to Stover Street
- Embro: Oxford Road 6 (Huron Street) from John Street to Halladay Street
Oxford County has a total of 29 designated safety zones, and they are put in areas that have a greater safety concern. Those areas include schools, community centres, recreation areas, playgrounds, hospitals, or seniors' centres and residences. In a community safety zone, there will be signage, which will allow for increased speeding fines, and could also be eligible for a future application to get photo radar.
