About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
St Johns Grove meets Twickenham Road at a stretch of the A316 that carries heavy commuter traffic moving between Twickenham and the wider South West London road network. This camera covers a section where local residential traffic regularly merges with the steady flow of vehicles using this corridor throughout the working day. a stretch that's become a familiar reference point for local residents planning their daily journeys.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
The morning brings a steady build-up in traffic as commuters head towards the M3 and beyond, with congestion typically peaking between 8am and 9am before easing through the late morning hours. The evening rush develops from around 4:45pm, continuing through the early evening as traffic disperses towards Twickenham and the surrounding areas. and non-match days here see this stretch return to a fairly ordinary, low-risk residential rhythm.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Average speed cameras cover this stretch of the A316 continuously, enforcing the posted limit through this section of Twickenham. ULEZ ANPR cameras remain active given the road's position fully within the expanded zone that covers the whole of Richmond upon Thames borough throughout the day and night without exception. On non-match days, a misjudged merge remains an occasional but genuine contributor to the local car accident claim tally.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
St Johns Grove itself offers access into residential Twickenham if the A316 is blocked, though it's narrow and not designed for significant through-traffic. For a longer diversion, the wider Twickenham road network provides an alternative, slower route around any congestion at this junction, and non-match days here see this stretch return to a fairly ordinary, low-risk residential rhythm outside the cricket and rugby seasons. On non-match days, a reversing bump between parked cars remains an entirely ordinary no fault accident claim.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
Compared with neighbouring stretches, this section tends to reflect conditions building or easing at the nearby Heathcote Road junction a short distance away, so checking both feeds together gives a clearer overall picture of how the wider A316 corridor is running, especially on match days.

Parking near Twickenham Rd/St Johns Grove, Richmond
St Johns Grove and the surrounding Twickenham streets sit within a Richmond upon Thames CPZ, also affected by the Twickenham Event (R) Zone on stadium match days — check richmond.gov.uk before travelling on a fixture day, since restrictions tighten considerably then. Outside events, visitor parking uses Richmond's scratchcard or RingGo system. There's no major public car park directly here on a normal day; Twickenham town centre's car parks are a short drive away. Richmond's parking pages sit at richmond.gov.uk/parking for both standard CPZ and event-day information. On a normal non-match day, this stretch of Twickenham has noticeably more available space than the immediate stadium approach roads, making it a sensible fallback if you're not attending a fixture.
