Oxford is well served by a network of roads and motorways that give fast and direct access from the rest of the UK and also Europe. The M40 motorway connects Oxford with London, the M25 and the Midlands. Junctions 8 and 9 link directly to the city. The Oxford ring road provides direct access to the south and west coast ports of Southampton, Portsmouth and Bristol via the A34.

All the five Park & Ride sites are clearly signposted from the ring road, and they operate frequent bus services to central Oxford seven days a week. There are no buses from Water Eaton on Sundays.
