Try the section through Ealing and the junction with the A1, they are
the pits

Henlys Corner (the aforementioned junction with the A1) is pretty
reasonable since they completed the remodelling work...at least at the
times I usually pass through.

Hanger Lane needs...well...I'm not sure what could be done to make it
less worse really, given the presence of the A40 underpass as well.

A Gallows Corner type single-lane-in-each-direction flyover taking the
A406
over the roundabout would make a big difference. It would be a tight
squeeze
but it could just about be done.

My experience of Henly's Corner is that during the peak periods the new
layout
has not made any improvement. Exactly the same with the Palmers
Green/New
Southgate scheme.


Those schemes were not for cars but for pedestrians and cycles. If your
experience is as a car user, you were never intended to see any
improvement. I'd say they have made things worse, because I used to use
the right turn from Natal Road to Bowes Road as part of a route which
avoided the entire jam, and this is no longer allowed.
