Is Sterling Way Slip/A1010 Fore St inside the ULEZ?

Yes — like all roads in Greater London, this location falls inside the ULEZ boundary. The ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, with no time restrictions. Most petrol cars registered after 2005 and diesel cars registered after 2015 meet the emission standards and pay nothing. Older or non-compliant vehicles pay a daily charge of £12.50 (cars and light vans). This location is outside the Congestion Charge Zone, so no CC charge applies. Use TfL's free ULEZ vehicle checker at tfl.gov.uk to verify your vehicle.

Is the traffic camera at Sterling Way Slip/A1010 Fore St working 24 hours?

Yes — TfL JamCam cameras operate and transmit images 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, at night or in low-light conditions, image quality may be reduced. The camera image refreshes every five minutes at all hours. If the feed shows an error, the camera may be temporarily offline for maintenance. TfL's network has very high uptime — try refreshing after a few minutes if the image isn't loading.

About This Camera

Camera Location & Hazard Overview

Edmonton Green's role as a local shopping and transport hub shows up clearly at this slip road, where traffic leaves the North Circular via Sterling Way for the older Fore Street corridor. It's a junction that changes character noticeably through the day, busy with commuters in the morning and shoppers by early afternoon. Drivers new to the area often underestimate how much local knowledge helps on this stretch.

Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends

Busy conditions hold throughout the day as vehicles move between the North Circular and the town centre, plus additional congestion around Edmonton Green shopping centre's peak hours. Saturday mornings bring a distinct shopping-driven pattern here that's largely absent on weekdays, as Edmonton Green draws its weekend crowds. Local knowledge of this stretch's quirks tends to matter more here than on more straightforward roads nearby, and the constant merging traffic near Edmonton Green is a fairly typical setting for a minor non-fault accident claim.

Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement

ANPR covers the slip road merge with the North Circular, while bus lane cameras are active on Fore Street itself given the bus routes serving Edmonton Green, one of the busier local transport hubs in this part of Enfield. Enforcement here is treated as a priority given the volume of traffic passing through on a typical day.

Road Closures & Alternative Routes

Montagu Road offers an alternative route towards Edmonton for drivers not needing the immediate Fore Street/Edmonton Green area, bypassing this slip road junction. Shoppers heading specifically for Edmonton Green generally find parking near the shopping centre itself more reliable than fighting through this slip road at peak times. Local drivers generally have a preferred back-up route memorised for exactly this kind of situation.

Driver Safety & Local Tips

Edmonton Green shopping centre traffic adds a genuine local layer to this junction beyond the standard North Circular pattern — weekday early afternoons can be busier than you'd expect from commuter traffic alone.

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 Sterling Way Slip/A1010 Fore St, Enfield

Edmonton Green Shopping Centre has its own dedicated multi-storey car park, the clear best option if you're visiting the shops rather than searching nearby streets, which fall under an Enfield Council CPZ typically enforced Monday to Saturday daytime.

Saturday trading brings the heaviest demand for the shopping centre car park, so arriving earlier in the day helps. Full parking details, permits and PCN appeal information: enfield.gov.uk/parking. Saturday shoppers should expect the car park to fill by late morning during busy trading periods.
