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

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.

End of the road?
Perryn Road where it used to meet Western Avenue, but like all the rat-runs this side of the A40 were blocked off years ago and now thanks to the ongoing roadworks over the other side of the wall almost bricked up as well.

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.

Pedestrian footbridge over Western Avenue, Acton
View east from the end of Perryn Road. As part of work to replace two railway bridges, this footbridge will be replaced by traffic lights and a pedestrian/bicycle "toucan" crossing to make the crossing easier.
