Live Traffic Camera—A3 Clapham Cmon Southside/Long Rd

Traffic on the A3 in Streatham and Norwood is heaviest during the weekday morning rush (07:30–09:30) and the evening peak (16:30–19:00). School term-time adds additional pressure in the morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up windows. The live camera above is the best indicator of current conditions at this specific point — TfL refreshes JamCam images every five minutes, giving you an up-to-date snapshot before you set off.

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.

Parking restrictions on the A3 and surrounding streets in Streatham and Norwood vary — most A-roads in London have double yellow lines along the main carriageway with restricted parking during certain hours on side streets. For specific parking information, check the relevant London borough council's website or use an app such as JustPark or RingGo for pay-by-phone parking nearby. Red Routes (indicated by red lines) prohibit all stopping — many major arterials including parts of A3 are Red Routes.
