About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
A second angle on the same complex interchange comes from this western side of the A406/A10 underpass in Edmonton, where the North Circular meets Great Cambridge Road. Locals who use this stretch daily often develop a strong preference for one side of the interchange over the other, depending on their usual direction of travel. Even small changes in traffic here tend to ripple outward to neighbouring junctions.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Heavy orbital flow on the North Circular, compounded by merging A10 traffic, mirrors the eastern underpass camera nearby, particularly during the evening peak as commuters head north out of London. Friday evenings bring one of the sharpest peaks of the week here, as commuters heading north out of London overlap with weekend getaway traffic. As with most junctions on this corridor, incidents nearby have an outsized effect on how this specific point behaves, and the sharp braking that follows a knock-on jam here is a recurring cause of whiplash compensation claims.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
The same average speed and ANPR coverage extends to this side of the interchange, monitoring both the North Circular through-traffic and the A10 merge, with enforcement focused heavily on lane discipline given the complexity of this junction. These measures reflect how consistently this junction is used, both by through-traffic and local residents.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
As with the eastern side of this junction, there's no reliable quick alternative for orbital traffic; local roads in Edmonton cannot realistically absorb diverted North Circular volumes. Regular users generally check both underpass cameras together before committing to a route through this interchange, since conditions on each side can differ significantly. As always, checking live conditions immediately before travelling is more reliable than assuming yesterday's pattern will repeat.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
Check both underpass cameras together if you're planning a journey through this interchange — congestion often affects one side more than the other depending on which direction is under the heaviest load.
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 A406/A10 U/Pass West, Finchley and Barnet
The western side of this A406/A10 interchange has the same lack of useful parking as the eastern side, being a major junction rather than a destination. Edmonton Green Shopping Centre's car park, a short drive away, is the sensible option if you're visiting this part of the borough. An Enfield Council CPZ covers residential streets further into Edmonton, typically Monday to Saturday daytime hours. Single yellow lines restrict stopping only during those times. Full parking information and PCN appeal details: enfield.gov.uk/parking. Regular users of this interchange rarely think of it as anywhere to park, treating it purely as a through-route.
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.
