For the 2007 expansion of the Kengestion zone, the new cameras are now
in place under the WLL at North Pole Road.

Of interest to me, from a purely research pov, is that they appear to
be set up to cover inbound traffic only. Here's hoping, since my
journey would be out of the uncongested "congestion zone" into the
Wood Lane/Scrubs Lane congested "uncongested zone" if you catch my
drift (Imperial students don't..)

The local borough doesn't like the look of them and has referred to
them as "5-eyes monsters". Ambient look destroyed. Efforts to remove
trees to improve their usability are being fought apparently.

Rarely have a problem ono Wood Lane, but then that's arriving
1000/1130/2300 and leaving 2200/2330/1100. I understand leaving at 1800
can be a nightmare though. One collegue who works 0530-1800 says it can
take over half an hour to reach the A40 from the car park (but as the
journey is 1) possible by car, not by train, and 2) 20% the price even
if trains did run he doesn't have much choice)

Never any problems when the H&C bridge is shut

Wait until the WC shopping centre is up and running. W12's answer to
BrentX will be outside any congestion charge zone (wonder how that
happened, and so is Sainsbury's!) and should add nicely to traffic
volumes. Should also suck the life out of ShepBush/Hamm/K HighSt.

1800 rush tends to be both ways on Scrubs Lane. The teeny short bus
lane runs add to this. Removing the official right turns onto the
Westway throws up lots more u-turns (new no-u sign). Grist to my mill
that the fundamental road design is the fault here, plus too many rat
runs and now a zone tax - which the US Embassy is rightfully
describing as tax but Ken says is a "service"!
