Drivers risk unfair fines for using most yellow box junctions which councils want enforcement powers over, according to a new report. Problems with the boxes include poor visibility and being too large, research commissioned by the RAC found.
Yellow boxes are used in an attempt to ensure traffic flows smoothly through busy junctions. Motorists should not enter them unless their exit is clear or they are waiting to turn right.
The RAC said to avoid inadvertently breaking the rules, drivers must be able to clearly see boxes and where they end. In England outside London, only police forces have the power to punish motorists over their use of yellow box junctions.
