Traffic in Barking & Dagenham right now

Barking and Dagenham sits on the north bank of the Thames in outer east London. The A13 (Commercial Road/Ripple Road) is the borough's spine, running west to east and connecting central London to Thurrock. The A406 North Circular skirts the northern boundary and is one of London's most consistently congested orbital roads. The A12 (Eastern Avenue) provides a northern route out towards Romford and Chelmsford.

The live camera feeds above are pulled directly from TfL's JamCam network and update automatically — each camera refreshes every 5 minutes during operational hours. The reel at the top cycles through available feeds from across the borough so you can get a quick read on conditions without clicking through individually.

When is traffic busiest in Barking & Dagenham?

Peak hours: 7:30–9:30am and 4:30–6:30pm weekdays on the A13 and A406. The Renwick Road and Lodge Avenue junctions on the A13 are particularly prone to queuing during the morning rush.

Like most London boroughs, Barking & Dagenham follows a broadly predictable weekly pattern. School holidays — particularly the summer break — can noticeably reduce peak congestion on residential and school-route roads, though leisure traffic on major arterials can partially offset this at weekends. Bank holidays are generally lighter, though leisure destinations may see higher-than-usual traffic.

The main roads to watch are the A13, A406, A12 — these carry the bulk of through and commuter traffic and are the most likely to experience delays during peak periods.

How to use the live cameras

Each camera in the grid above links through to its individual feed page where you can see a larger view and read the camera's precise location. The reel at the top cycles automatically — use the previous/next buttons to jump through feeds manually, or click anywhere on the reel image to open that camera's dedicated page. The pause button holds the reel on the current camera.

Camera feeds come directly from TfL's JamCam network. Not all cameras broadcast video — some provide still images updated every few minutes. The reel prioritises video feeds where available and falls back to still images automatically. If a camera shows no image, it may be temporarily offline or undergoing maintenance.
