Is it worth avoiding A40 /Near Mansfield Rd during peak hours?

If you have flexibility in your departure time, avoiding the peak windows of 07:30–09:30 and 16:30–19:00 on weekdays will generally result in a faster journey through A40 /Near Mansfield Rd. Travelling before 07:00 or after 20:00 on weekdays, or in the early morning at weekends, typically means much lighter traffic. The JamCam above can help you judge whether it's worth setting off now or waiting.

Do I need to pay any charges to drive through A40 /Near Mansfield Rd?

This location is outside the Congestion Charge Zone, so no CC charge applies. However, like all roads in Greater London, this location falls inside the ULEZ boundary, meaning ULEZ applies here 24 hours a day. Most petrol cars from 2006 onwards and diesel cars from 2015 onwards are compliant and pay nothing. Older vehicles face a daily ULEZ charge of £12.50. Check TfL's free vehicle checker at tfl.gov.uk to find out if your car or van is affected.

About This Camera

Camera Location & Hazard Overview

A short distance from Hanger Lane, Mansfield Road serves both through-traffic and access to the residential streets of this part of Ealing, on a stretch of Western Avenue that rarely escapes the gyratory's influence. Residents along Mansfield Road have grown used to the daily rhythm of gyratory-driven congestion arriving and clearing at fairly predictable times. It's a stretch worth knowing well if you travel this corridor with any regularity.

Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends

Traffic patterns largely mirror the wider Hanger Lane corridor, with congestion building from the gyratory and extending back along this stretch during both the morning and evening peaks. School holidays bring a modest but real dip in traffic here, since term-time school runs add a noticeable layer to the standard commuter flow. Local knowledge of this stretch's quirks tends to matter more here than on more straightforward roads nearby, and impatient lane-switching near the Hanger Lane approach is a fairly typical cause of a non-fault accident claim.

Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement

Camera enforcement on this stretch runs continuously: average speed checks cover this section continuously as part of the A40's enforcement network approaching Hanger Lane, with particular focus on drivers accelerating hard once clear of the gyratory itself. Enforcement here is treated as a priority given the volume of traffic passing through on a typical day.

Road Closures & Alternative Routes

As with the neighbouring Connell Crescent stretch, there's little genuine alternative to this section of the A40; local residential roads are not suited to significant diverted volumes. Anyone with real flexibility generally times their journey through here for after 09:30, once the sharpest edge of the morning peak has passed. As always, checking live conditions immediately before travelling is more reliable than assuming yesterday's pattern will repeat.

Driver Safety & Local Tips

This camera and the Connell Crescent feed nearby tell much the same story — check either one to judge how far back Hanger Lane congestion has spread on a given day.

ULEZ & Emissions

Ealing has sat inside the expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone since it went London-wide in August 2023, meaning non-compliant vehicles pay £12.50 a day anywhere in the borough, including the whole of the A40 and Uxbridge Road corridors. Check compliance for your specific vehicle at tfl.gov.uk/ulez before travelling.

Parking near A40 /Near Mansfield Rd, Ealing

Mansfield Road and the surrounding streets near Hanger Lane are largely residential, under an Ealing Council CPZ typically enforced Monday to Saturday during the day. Given this stretch's proximity to one of London's most congested junctions, visitor parking is genuinely limited, and residents' bays take clear priority. Single yellow lines restrict stopping only during controlled hours. If you're not staying locally, Ealing Broadway's car parks or the residential streets around Hanwell offer more realistic options than trying to park near Hanger Lane itself. Full CPZ details, permit applications and PCN appeal forms: ealing.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.
