What is the yellow box junction at the intersection?
2 Answers
Intersection yellow box junctions indicate a strict prohibition against all vehicles stopping for any duration, whether temporarily or long-term, to prevent traffic congestion. Below is relevant information about intersection box junctions: Function of yellow box junctions: Yellow box junctions are marked at intersections, entrances/exits, or other necessary locations prone to temporary stops causing traffic jams, preventing vehicles from causing congestion in these areas. Driving rules for yellow box junctions: Vehicles may normally drive through the box junction, but no vehicle is permitted to stop on the markings. When a vehicle ahead is stopped within the yellow box junction, following vehicles must wait outside the box until confirming there is sufficient space ahead before proceeding through.
Hey, those yellow grid patterns painted in the middle of intersections are called grid markings, and they absolutely prohibit stopping or blocking vehicles there. Their primary purpose is to prevent traffic jams caused by vehicles stopping in the middle of intersections, especially during rush hours. Whenever I drive through those areas, I make sure to be extra cautious, slowing down and passing through slowly rather than coming to a stop. Once, when I was in a hurry to get to work, I almost stopped there, and the honking from behind was relentless—a lesson well learned. Following this rule not only keeps traffic flowing smoothly but also reduces the risk of accidents. In daily driving, when you see grid markings, it's best to observe the road conditions in advance and leave enough space.
