Further west it's still as narrow as that


Not until you get past hanger lane though! But if you go east its pretty
narrow at bounds green. I remember when they built the east end road underpass
and widened the road back in the mid 90s. The traffic before that time
effectivly made the road unusable in the rush hour around the finchley area.
God knows what it would be like now if they hadn't done it.
