Drivers face an "avalanche of penalty charge notices being wrongly issued" and "a high degree of confusion" when new yellow box junction rules are introduced. The rules, which come into force on June 1, mean that, for the first time, people outside London could be fined for misusing the boxes.
Motorists are not allowed to stop in them and those caught (usually through traffic cameras) can already be fined - but only in London and Wales. However, from June, local authorities in the rest of England will be able to issue the fines.

Its 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.
