Enfield Council has partnered with Transport for London (TfL) and the Met Police to introduce a range of measures to reduce road danger and tackle road-related anti-social behaviour on the A10.
This includes extending the existing average-speed camera system, new lane markings, and an injunction prohibiting ‘car cruising’.
TfL is determined to work in partnership with the Met and London boroughs to achieve the Mayor’s goal of eliminating deaths and serious injuries from London’s roads.
The partnership reports that these measures are supported by local residents and politicians who have been raising concerns about speeding drivers and antisocial road use.
TfL will extend the existing average-speed safety camera system on the A10 to cover the southern section from Southbury Road to the A406, in response to sustained community concern and levels of extreme speeding, particularly overnight.
This will replace the ‘spot speed’ cameras that are already in place on this stretch of road and ensure a more joined up enforcement approach along both sections of the road.

The partnership reported that the data shows that average speed cameras on the northern section of the A10 from the M25 to Southbury Road, and high levels of enforcement, have been successful in reducing the number of collisions involving death and serious injury.
Since the average-speed safety camera system was introduced in 2020, collisions involving death and serious injury have reduced by over half from seven (2019) to three (2021 and 2022).
In 2023 and 2024 there have been no collisions involving death and serious injury at this location.
TfL has also introduced new and enhanced lane markings, ensured all signals are clearly visible and that signal-controlled crossings on the corridor have functioning tactile cones, and cut back vegetation along the A10 to allow for clearer footways.
TfL’s chief safety, health and environment officer Lilli Matson said: “We know that speeding is a major concern for people living by the A10.
“Working alongside the local borough and the Met, we are introducing a range of measures to tackle speeding, car meets, anti-social driving and racing at this location, including extending the existing average-speed safety camera system.
“Speed continues to be a factor in almost half of fatal collisions in London with devastating consequences for the families, friends and communities impacted by these tragic casualties.
“Breaking the speed limit is also illegal and dangerous and we are determined to ensure that roads are safe for everyone in Enfield.”
Achievements and innovations in road safety will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Visit www.cittiawards.co.uk to learn more about this unmissable event for the UK’s transportation sector!
