Manet Gardens, Cezanne Road, Western Circus Acton
The houses on the right are on new roads set back from the Western Avenue A40 dual carriageway, built after a road scheme was abandoned. They are Manet Gardens (nearer) and Cezanne Road. They are mainly small blocks of flats. The taller buildings on the left are Western Circus, a group of blocks of flats on the site of a do-it-yourself store. There is a 2-way cycle track on the right between the houses and the dual carriageway. Bus stops on left and right have lay-bys so the stopped bus does not block the traffic lane.

Two views from the footbridge
This footbridge over the A40 gives good views over London, as someone in the local council has realized. The placard shows a view directed somewhat more to the left than the current view - only the corner of the placard left-hand near house is seen in the main view.

Average speed cameras at roadworks
The yellow post carries CCTV cameras with a numberplate recognition system. This one is at the eastern end of roadworks to replace two bridges, there is another linked one at the western end. The speed limit is usually 40 mph here, reduced to 30 mph through the roadworks. Also in the photo is the sign for the end of the free breakdown recovery which operates through the roadworks. View from footbridge - see
Image for an earlier view of the roadworks.

Western Avenue footbridge, W3
Replacing an older bridge due to road widening, bridge strengthening and reconstruction, it isn't fully open yet, but when it is you'll be able to use either ramps or stairs.

Infill house, corner of The Approach with A40 road
The new-looking lawn and gravel path beside the A40 lead to a building containing 14 and 16 The Approach, fitted in behind 18 The Approach. View from footbridge. 14 and 16 The Approach would have been houses here before Western Avenue was built, and widened to dual carriageway. The name "The Approach" refers to the previous use of the area as a golf course.

Footbridge across the A40
The A40 (behind the wall) is so busy here, with heavy traffic thundering through, that it would be suicide to attempt to cross it here on the level, so this footbridge is provided, which leads from the northern end of Friar's Place Lane, this road being blanked off here.
