It is certainly an aggressive plan to curb journey through the city. It feels like it’s just going to force more journeys out to the ring road, resulting in more miles travelled for many people.
While the Telegraph piece is very hyperbolic, this scheme looks like it will be a massive pain for many people in Oxford, and might just induce longer journeys.
I will be really interested to see how it works out over the next couple of years, and how it goes down with the Oxford electorate at the next local elections.

This piece from the Oxford Mail has rather more details about the scheme.
