About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Piccadilly line trains rattle past Alperton, close to where Western Avenue meets Alperton Lane near the Hanger Lane and Ealing borders, in an area mixing residential and light-industrial development. Piccadilly line commuters walking from Alperton station add a steady pedestrian presence that local drivers have grown used to navigating around. Locals treat conditions here as a fair proxy for the wider area, not just this single point.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
The wider A40 pattern holds here, with congestion building towards Hanger Lane during peak hours, while Alperton Lane itself carries local traffic to and from the surrounding residential streets. Roadworks anywhere closer to Hanger Lane tend to have a noticeable knock-on effect here too, even though this stretch sits a short distance further out. Local knowledge of this stretch's quirks tends to matter more here than on more straightforward roads nearby, and the Piccadilly line footfall crossing near the station makes a pedestrian accident claim a genuine, if rare, risk for inattentive drivers.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Compliance checks along this road are continuous, with average speed cameras continue along this section of Western Avenue, with standard restrictions applying to the local access roads including Alperton Lane, an area that has seen modest but steady residential growth in recent years.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Alperton Lane offers local access without needing the main A40, though through-traffic should remain on Western Avenue itself given the limited capacity of surrounding residential roads. Local residents generally prefer Alperton Lane itself for short trips, reserving the main A40 for journeys that genuinely need the dual carriageway. As always, checking live conditions immediately before travelling is more reliable than assuming yesterday's pattern will repeat.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
Here, is close enough to Hanger Lane that its conditions usually mirror the gyratory — check the main Hanger Lane cameras if you want a clearer read on how this section will behave.
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 Western Ave/Alperton Lane, Southall and Uxbridge
Near Alperton and the Ealing/Hanger Lane border, parking is largely residential in character, with an Ealing Council CPZ typically covering Monday to Saturday daytime hours. Alperton's Piccadilly line station has some very limited nearby parking for rail commuters, though spaces fill early on weekday mornings. Single yellow lines restrict stopping only during controlled hours. Given this stretch's proximity to the busy Hanger Lane corridor, residential bays here see more competition than a typical suburban street. Full CPZ maps, permit applications and PCN appeal information: ealing.gov.uk/parking. Piccadilly line commuters generally accept a short walk rather than expecting a space directly outside the station.
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.
