Caste Hill Gyratory Signals:

-No evidence has been presented that the pedestrian stages have been included in the signal cycle.
-If pedestrian stages have been included then it will result in a loss of about 20% highway capacity at peak times, and it is therefore unlikely that the junction will be able to serve more vehicular traffic.
-The signals have been proposed on the sole basis of peak hour estimates with schools in session.
-No evidence has been provided regarding the future retention of the existing Pelican crossing on the Banbury Road.
-No evidence has been provided that the existing signals at Eastgate have been included in the signal co-ordinating proposals. Such co-ordination would be essential to prevent exit blocking on the Banbury Road.
-The existing townscape of medieval buildings against the backdrop of the Castle itself would be entirely ruined by yet another forest of signal heads.
