According to the MPO 2040 Plan, the Oxford Circle Area currently experiences little to no traffic congestion along Versailles Road. The Plan references minor congestion at the intersections of New Circle/Versailles Road and Red Mile Road/ Versailles Road.

Vehicle circulation within the property is random and uncontrolled at best. Internal vehicular circulation patterns have not been established due to the past development patterns. As a result, the majority of the east section of the property is paved without traffic controls such as islands, designated driveways or striping. These conditions create inefficiency for vehicular parking and unsafe conditions for motorist, cyclist and pedestrians alike. Other than sidewalks at the buildings, the property has no bike or pedestrian facilities along the perimeter or internally to the parcel.
