The second main condition is that drivers should have adequate visibility beyond the box to be able to make a clear judgement before entering it. It’s not just that drivers need to see the end of the box, they need to see that there is space beyond the box for their vehicle to fit without any part of it overhanging. In the case of a car that will be 5-6m. For larger vehicles, it will be up to 15m. I think designers should have to take a car out in rush hour to see if they can negotiate the box without stopping, before insisting that others do the same. It’s absolutely crucial that yellow box junctions are enforced fairly and, as things stand, this may not be the case which will mean many drivers will be treated poorly and lose out financially as a result.”

Peanuts B5 Grid Notepads / Simple Notepad / Big Memo pad / Stationery / Scrapbooking / School, Office Supplies The Blue Badge Scheme specifies how many disabled parking spaces a council needs to provide in council car parks or on-street. If you park in a disabled bay and you don't have a Blue Badge displayed, you could get a fixed penalty notice. The problem is, sometimes it’s hard to know what the rules are when it comes to parking. Yellow lines, white lines, red lines - they all have different restrictions.

We have written to the Department for Transport asking them to update the guidance to make it clear to local authorities what the minimum standard for design and condition of a box junction should be before letting enforcement begin, but they are adamant the present guidance is sufficient. Subject to the definition of a yellow box junction being satisfied, the regulations state that boxes can be only be placed in specified locations, namely:

If you display the badge in the wrong way you could get a parking fine. Using your badge in the UK and abroad No waiting' with double yellow lines means no waiting or parking at any time, unless there are exceptions listed on nearby signs. Single red lines mean you can’t park, stop or load during specified time periods that should be displayed clearly on surrounding signs.

Drivers may also be surprised to hear that there is no legal requirement for authorities to meet this design criteria and it’s simply down to the competence of the enforcing authority."

FairCharge and RAC launch UK’s first electric vehicle charging charter to boost electric vehicle adoption The RAC believes the Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 5: Road Markings section 8.1.2is extremely unclear and unhelpful stating: "The purpose of a yellow box marking is to mark an area of carriageway conveying the prohibition that a person must not cause a vehicle to enter the box junction so that the vehicle has to stop within the box junction due to the presence of stationary vehicles (S9‑7‑11)." 2 RAC head of roads policy Nicholas Lyes said:“In the absence of definitive guidance on the design, maintenance and enforcement of box junctions there will be a high degree of confusion among drivers and local authorities which could lead to an avalanche of penalty charge notices being wrongly issued and then having to be appealed. This will inevitably lead to an unnecessarily high number of appeals for local authorities to review, as well as some poor outcomes for drivers.

Christmas Leather Padfolio with Notepad, Business Gifts for men, Personalized Document Holder for Women, Document Organizer, Custom Padfolio While RAC research shows 57% of drivers are generally in favour of yellow box junctions being enforced, it has discovered that many junctions have design flaws which cause drivers to become trapped through no fault of their own, and that some are so poorly maintained that it’s hard to see where the yellow lines start and finish. 1 We are worried that failing to update guidance to include the lessons learnt from more than 15 years of enforcement in London will lead to countless wrong fines being issued, no end of unnecessary stress for drivers who feel they have been unfairly treated and thousands of wasted council hours investigating appeals.

If the signs state that the parking restrictions apply Monday to Saturday, 9am-6pm, as an example, these will still be in place if it’s a bank holiday - unless signs specifically exclude this. In some cases, the single white line is there to indicate that there’s no pavement – if this is the case then it’s illegal to park there. In the weeks leading up to an event that’s expected to cause disruption, the local councils should usually have signs up explaining what’s going to change. Electric cars
