About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
The A1 Barnet Way meets the A41 Edgware Way at a significant interchange in the Mill Hill/Edgware area of Barnet where two of North West London's major arterial roads cross, close to Apex Corner — genuinely useful for drivers deciding between the A1 or A41.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Heavy merging traffic builds from 07:15 as both A1 and A41 commuters converge, peaking around 09:00, with the pattern repeating in reverse from 16:30. Because this junction feeds both major roads, congestion can originate from either direction — checking both approaches before committing to a route is genuinely worthwhile.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Both the A1 and A41 carry standard speed camera enforcement through this stretch, with signal enforcement at the junction itself. No stopping is permitted on either approach. ULEZ applies across Barnet 24 hours a day; check tfl.gov.uk/ulez for compliance.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
If one road is backed up here, the other often provides a genuine practical alternative given this is one of the few points where the A1 and A41 cross directly. For confirmed problems on both, Apex Corner traffic conditions are worth checking too. Anyone rear-ended while merging between these two major roads has a reasonably strong non fault accident claim, since the vehicle already established in the lane usually retains right of way.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
This junction is genuinely useful for route planning rather than just status checking — if you have a choice between A1 and A41 for your journey, this is one of the best points to make that call based on current conditions.

Non-compliant vehicles (pre-Euro 6 diesel / pre-Euro 4 petrol) face a £12.50 daily charge. No Congestion Charge applies in this borough. Check your vehicle compliance at tfl.gov.uk/ulez.
