About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Chepstow Road meets Addiscombe Road at a residential tram junction that's previously seen extended closures for major Croydon Tramlink infrastructure works, with signed diversions running via nearby roads during those periods.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Traffic here follows the standard suburban pattern — sharp school-run delays around 08:00-09:00 and a slower, more sustained evening crush — though tram-related works can disrupt this rhythm significantly when they're underway.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
20mph limits apply on the residential streets, with automated CCTV watching for parking violations near the tram infrastructure specifically. Camera-issued tickets here reference details you'll need via car park management for any appeal or payment.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Rat-running through the surrounding streets works less reliably here than it once did, given Croydon's Low Traffic Neighbourhood cameras — always check current TfL and council notices before assuming normal access, especially during any tram works. If you overheat or stall in the queue, providers found by searching roadside recovery cover in this area typically reach you faster than you'd expect for inner London.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
This junction has previously seen closures extending beyond ten days for major infrastructure works — always check current notices before planning a route through here rather than assuming standard access.
ULEZ & Emissions
The London Borough of Croydon 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 here. Check your vehicle compliance at tfl.gov.uk.
Parking near Chepstow Rd/Addiscombe Rd, South London
Local parking here follows Croydon's outer zone rules, requiring a permit during controlled hours for residents on the surrounding streets. This specific junction has previously seen extended closures for tram infrastructure works, with signed diversions via nearby roads — check current notices before relying on normal access. croydon.gov.uk/parking has current zone charges. If you're stung by a ticket, checking car park pay and display machines locally will tell you whether it's council or privately issued.
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.
