About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
This is the westbound partner to the eastbound Billet Underpass camera nearby, covering the same North Circular tunnel section beneath the Crooked Billet Roundabout from the opposite direction.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Westbound through-traffic dominates here, generally moving better than the surface junction above even at standard 07:00–09:30 and 16:00–18:30 peaks, mirroring the eastbound view in most conditions.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
The same tunnel-section rules apply here as on the eastbound side — no stopping, standard North Circular average speed camera coverage. Contesting a ticket from this stretch usually starts with a search for tfl penalty charge notice, since that's printed directly on it.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
The eastbound camera nearby is a useful comparison against this westbound view, helping clarify whether congestion is affecting the whole underpass or just one direction. A stalled vehicle here backs traffic up fast, so knowing where to find car breakdown recovery near me in this part of London saves everyone time.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
Pairing this camera with its eastbound companion and the main Crooked Billet Roundabout view gives the fullest picture of this genuinely complex interchange — worth checking all three before committing to a route through here.
ULEZ & Emissions
The London Borough of Waltham Forest operates entirely within the expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), active 24/7. Non-compliant vehicles face a £12.50 daily charge. No Congestion Charge applies in this borough. Check your vehicle compliance at tfl.gov.uk/ulez.
Parking near A406 Billet Upass W, North London
The A406 itself is a red route with heavy enforcement, so locals park a street or two back in Chingford and Walthamstow. Waltham Forest's CPZ covers most of the surrounding streets, generally Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm, with MiPermit now handling visitor sessions. The Ridgeway car park and the side roads around Whipps Cross roundabout both offer a reasonable fallback. Not every car park in this part of the borough is council-run, so checking whether private parking firms are involved matters if you're disputing a ticket.
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.
