The A44 (prior to 1991, A34) drops down to a single lane each way between Wolvercote and Yarnton. For reasons best known to the UK's transport planners (sic), this section was never dualled, though that from Woodstock to Yarnton was improved long before the M40 came on the scene. The 50 limits which infest the route for most of its length to Stratford arrived concurrently with the M40 as part of a policy to get traffic onto the motorway.
