About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
This camera covers Edgware Way at its junction with Broadfields Avenue, on the A41 in the Edgware area at the northern edge of Barnet — a stretch beyond the busiest inner sections of the A41, running through a more suburban part of the borough close to Edgware's own Northern line terminus.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Weekday commuters build from 07:15, peaking around 09:00, as Edgware-area traffic joins the A41 toward central London and the Apex Corner/Mill Hill direction, with the reverse from 16:30 to 18:15. This stretch is generally less congested than inner sections of the A41 near Hendon.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Standard A41 speed camera enforcement applies through this stretch. Broadfields Avenue and surrounding residential roads carry standard parking restrictions, with no stopping permitted on the main A41 carriageway. ULEZ applies across Barnet 24/7; check tfl.gov.uk/ulez for compliance.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
If this stretch is congested, check Apex Corner ahead, since problems there commonly back up onto this section given the limited number of A41 access points nearby. For local Edgware trips, the town centre itself offers alternative local roads, though not a genuine A41 bypass. A breakdown on this more open suburban stretch of the A41 still warrants proper roadside assistance rather than attempting a DIY fix on a live carriageway, particularly during the evening peak.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
This is a useful early-warning stretch for Apex Corner — if traffic is unusually slow here on an otherwise normal day, it's often a sign that the junction ahead is under pressure.
ULEZ & Emissions
The London Borough of Barnet operates entirely within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which is active 24/7, every day of the year. Non-compliant vehicles (pre-Euro 6 diesel / pre-Euro 4 petrol) face a £12.50 daily charge. No Congestion Charge applies in this borough. Check your vehicle compliance at tfl.gov.uk/ulez.
