A yellow box junction in Croydon has generated almost £2 million in fines over the past decade, despite part of it being deemed illegal by adjudicators. There are now calls for the council to scrap the box outside East Croydon entirely, with a leading campaigner saying: “There’s no other reason for that part of the box than to make money.”
A yellow box is intended to prevent drivers from entering an intersection unless they can clear it fully. Vehicles that stop on the hatchings can be issued with a £160 penalty charge notice each time.
