About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Greenford and the wider road network heading north towards the A40 both connect through this significant local interchange, where Uxbridge Road meets Greenford Road. It's a junction that rewards patience more than cleverness, since most delay here comes from the sheer number of vehicles turning rather than any single bottleneck. Drivers new to the area often underestimate how much local knowledge helps on this stretch.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
A genuine mix of Uxbridge Road through-flow and local traffic heading to or from Greenford holds here, with peaks reflecting both the standard commute and Greenford Road's own busy periods. Friday afternoons bring an earlier build-up than usual, as weekend Greenford traffic overlaps with the standard Uxbridge Road commute. As with most junctions on this corridor, incidents nearby have an outsized effect on how this specific point behaves, and drivers turning across oncoming traffic here are a recurring cause of a minor car crash claim at this junction specifically.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Signal and bus lane cameras cover this junction closely given the volume of traffic changing direction here between the two major roads, with particular focus on the right-turn lanes that tend to back up first under pressure. As with the rest of the borough, the Ultra Low Emission Zone charge applies here in addition to any local penalty.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Greenford Road itself provides a direct route north towards the A40 for drivers not needing to continue along Uxbridge Road, useful if this junction is particularly congested. Drivers heading specifically for the A40 rather than Greenford itself generally find joining Greenford Road slightly further south a smoother option. 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
This junction handles traffic changing between two quite different corridors, so delays here are often about turning traffic rather than straightforward congestion — patience through the signal cycles usually clears it faster than trying to find a way around.
ULEZ & Emissions
Ealing has sat inside the expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone since it went London-wide in August 2023, meaning non-compliant vehicles pay £12.50 a day anywhere in the borough, including the whole of the A40 and Uxbridge Road corridors. Check compliance for your specific vehicle at tfl.gov.uk/ulez before travelling.
Parking near Uxbridge Road/Greenford Road, Hounslow
This junction connecting Uxbridge Road to Greenford Road has a mix of residential and local shopping parking pressure. Greenford's own Broadway car park is a reasonable option if you're heading that way rather than into central Ealing. An Ealing Council CPZ covers nearby residential streets, typically Monday to Saturday daytime, with single yellow lines restricting stopping only during controlled hours. Weekend parking here is generally easier than weekday commuter competition for the same limited spaces. Full permit information and PCN appeal details: ealing.gov.uk/parking. This junction itself is best treated as a through-route rather than a parking destination.
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.
