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.

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.

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.
