Live Traffic Camera—A1 Watford Way/The Broadway

If you have flexibility in your departure time, avoiding the peak windows of 07:30–09:30 and 16:30–19:00 on weekdays will generally result in a faster journey through A1 Watford Way/The Broadway. Travelling before 07:00 or after 20:00 on weekdays, or in the early morning at weekends, typically means much lighter traffic. The JamCam above can help you judge whether it's worth setting off now or waiting.

This location is outside the Congestion Charge Zone, so no CC charge applies. However, like all roads in Greater London, this location falls inside the ULEZ boundary, meaning ULEZ applies here 24 hours a day. Most petrol cars from 2006 onwards and diesel cars from 2015 onwards are compliant and pay nothing. Older vehicles face a daily ULEZ charge of £12.50. Check TfL's free vehicle checker at tfl.gov.uk to find out if your car or van is affected.

TfL's JamCam network operates at over 95% uptime across its 900+ cameras. Individual cameras can go offline temporarily due to maintenance, power issues or road damage, but outages are usually resolved within hours. When this specific camera is unavailable, the page will show an error message — nearby cameras in the strip below the main feed often give a useful alternative view. TfL's Open Data API also occasionally experiences brief delays, which can result in images that are slightly older than the usual five-minute interval.
