Most of the traffic is made up of commuters using the road to travel between the City and the eastern suburbs. During the morning rush hours, there can be up to 6,000 cars per hour on the road.

The safety record of the A5230 is typical for a road of its size. In 2016, there were four deaths on the road, although this figure is much lower than the long-term average for London roads.
