About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Two significant routes meet in the heart of Enfield at this junction of the A10 Great Cambridge Road and the A110 Southbury Road, connecting the north-south A10 with the busy route towards Enfield Town and Ponders End. It's a junction that rewards patience over cleverness, since the sheer number of vehicles turning here causes more delay than any single bottleneck.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Heavy traffic holds throughout the day given this junction's role linking two significant routes, with peaks during the standard commute compounded by local traffic serving Enfield Town's shops and Southbury leisure centre. Saturday afternoons regularly rank among the busiest periods recorded here, as shoppers and leisure centre visitors overlap with the standard weekend traffic. Conditions can shift quickly here, so a clear camera feed is only ever a snapshot rather than a guarantee, and the complex turning movements at this junction are a fairly common cause of a car crash claim among unfamiliar drivers.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Signal and average speed cameras cover this multi-directional junction closely, reflecting the volume of traffic turning between the A10 and Southbury Road here, one of the more complex interchanges covered anywhere in this dataset. The wider Ultra Low Emission Zone charge also applies throughout this stretch, on top of any parking or loading penalty.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Drivers not needing Enfield Town itself can use the A10 further north to bypass this junction, while local traffic is generally better served using Southbury Road directly. Local shoppers generally park further out and walk in rather than fighting through this junction directly during peak Saturday trading hours. Whichever alternative you choose, allowing extra time is usually wiser than hoping the direct route clears quickly.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
It's a genuinely complex junction with a lot of turning traffic — allow extra time here specifically, rather than assuming delays reflect the whole A10 corridor. Small local knowledge like this often saves more time than any single alternative route would.
ULEZ & Emissions
Enfield has been fully inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone since its London-wide expansion in August 2023, with the charge operating 24/7 including bank holidays. Non-compliant vehicles pay £12.50 a day on top of any other charges. Check your vehicle at tfl.gov.uk/ulez before travelling through the borough.
Parking near A10 Grt Cambridge Rd/A110 S bury Rd, North London
This significant junction near Enfield Town has some of the borough's busiest parking demand nearby, given the shops, Southbury leisure centre and Enfield Town's high street all drawing visitors. The Southbury Road multi-storey car park and the Enfield Town car park off London Road are the most reliable options rather than competing for on-street bays. An Enfield Council CPZ covers residential side streets, typically Monday to Saturday daytime, with single yellow lines strictly enforced given how contested space is here. Saturdays see the heaviest pressure of the week. Full parking details, permits and PCN appeals: enfield.gov.uk/parking.
If on-street parking is hard to find, apps like JustPark and YourParkingSpace let you pre-book a private driveway or car park nearby — typically from around £2–£6 per hour or £10–£25 per day depending on how central the location is.
