About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Traffic heading the opposite way between Edmonton Green and the orbital road uses the Fore Street West Ramp, the counterpart slip road connecting the A1010 to the A406 North Circular. Few slip roads on this list are quite as sensitive to conditions elsewhere, given how directly this ramp connects two of Enfield's busiest routes. Drivers new to the area often underestimate how much local knowledge helps on this stretch.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Similar patterns to the East Ramp nearby hold here, closely tied to conditions on both connecting roads, with congestion on either Fore Street or the North Circular quickly reflected on this ramp given the limited merging space. Friday evenings bring a noticeably sharper peak here than most weekdays, as weekend getaway traffic adds to the standard commuter flow through this merge, and the resulting sudden braking is a genuine trigger for a rear-end shunt and an accompanying whiplash claim.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
The same ANPR and average speed coverage extends to this ramp, monitoring the merge between Fore Street traffic and the North Circular, an area of continued focus given the volume of traffic using both connecting routes. The wider Ultra Low Emission Zone charge also applies throughout this stretch, on top of any parking or loading penalty.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
As with the East Ramp, checking conditions on both Fore Street and the North Circular before using this slip road helps avoid getting caught in a backup with no easy way out. Regular users generally treat both Fore Street ramp cameras as a linked pair, checking each before deciding which direction to approach this interchange from. It's worth having a second option in mind before you set off, rather than deciding only once you hit traffic.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
Check both Fore Street ramp cameras together if you're navigating this interchange — they often tell a different story depending on which direction is under the heaviest load at the time.
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 Fore St West Ramp, Enfield
As with the eastern ramp nearby, this stretch has no parking of its own. Edmonton Green Shopping Centre's dedicated car park remains the best option for anyone visiting this area, rather than trying to park near either Fore Street ramp. An Enfield Council CPZ covers residential streets in the wider Edmonton area, typically Monday to Saturday daytime. Single yellow lines here relate to slip road safety rather than general parking. Full details, permits and PCN appeals: enfield.gov.uk/parking. Cyclists and pedestrians should note the ramp itself has no footway, so it's not a place to wait even briefly.
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.
