Drivers in London and Cardiff are 存在 不公平に stung with 罰金s of up to £160 for yellow box junction 違反s because the road 場内取引員／株価s are unnecessarily large.

A?new 熟考する／考慮する from the RAC shows almost every yellow box junction is bigger than it needs to be, 主要な to 不正な 罰金s 手渡すd out to 運転者s and in turn has become a lucrative?cash cow for 地元の 当局.

Staggeringly, almost 98 per cent of the 100 yellow box junctions in London?and Cardiff 責任がある 生成するing the most 刑罰，罰則 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 notices (PCNs) in 2019 were larger than necessary for 妨げるing 乗り物s 封鎖するing the path of other crossing traffic.

*Scroll to the 底（に届く） of this story to see the 十分な 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of the 100 most lucrative box junctions of 2019 and how much of the painted road 場内取引員／株価s are unnecessary

Sam Wright, a 借り切る／憲章d engineer 以前は 責任がある the design and 是認 of yellow boxes on 輸送（する） for London's roads, was （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限d by the RAC to 診察する yellow boxes in both 資本／首都s.?

He 設立する that the 普通の／平均（する） box was 50 per cent bigger than it needed to be to?serve the 最初の／主要な 目的 of having a yellow box in the first place ? to 妨げる 乗り物s 封鎖するing the path of other crossing traffic.

In 2023 the 政府 decided to let 会議s outside London and Cardiff 適用する for 力／強力にするs to 施行する moving traffic offences, with the result that 27 地元の 当局 put 今後 提案s to 施行する 111 yellow box junctions.

The yellow 'criss-cross' boxes are used to keep traffic flowing through busy junctions, with drivers not 許すd to enter a box unless the 出口 is （疑いを）晴らす and there's enough space to （疑いを）晴らす the box without stopping inside the yellow lines.

Yellow boxes rake it millions of 続けざまに猛撃するs each year for 地元の 当局.?

In 2019 alone, the 最高の，を越す 100 yellow boxes 責任がある 374,276 罰金s.?

The に引き続いて year, TfL?問題／発行するd 77,000 box junction 刑罰，罰則 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 notices 価値（がある） at least £5million for contraventions on Red 大勝するs in 2020, a Freedom of （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） request 明らかにする／漏らすd.

That 作品 out to an 普通の／平均（する） of 1,500 drivers per week snared by (a)自動的な／(n)自動拳銃 number plate 承認 cameras around Central London policing box junctions.?

RAC spokesperson 棒 Dennis said: 'With more and more 会議s starting to 施行する yellow box junctions, it is 絶対 決定的な that they are designed first and 真っ先の with 補佐官ing traffic flow and that they don’t 存在する 簡単に to raise 歳入 from drivers.'

'Unfortunately, any box that is bigger than needed ? whether that’s 予定 to an oversight on the 会議’s part or because it was painted on the road many years ago and hasn’t been reviewed ? 危険s drivers 存在 罰金d unnecessarily when their 活動／戦闘s 港／避難所’t 与える／捧げるd to congestion.'?

Last year, the RAC and Wright 警告するd that up to 90 per cent of these boxes are?likely to lead to drivers 存在 罰金d 不公平に.?

More than half (55 per cent)?直接／まっすぐに contravene the 現在の 政府 指導／手引, いつかs on 多重の counts.?

Some 40 boxes were 設立する to 提起する／ポーズをとる visibility 問題／発行するs for drivers, yet drivers are the ones parting with hard earned cash when they 逸脱する over the lines.

The RAC 設立する that eight out of ten drivers say they struggle to （疑いを）晴らす yellow box junctions ― with half 説 they have accidentally got stuck in one, 大部分は 予定 to bad 運動ing by other 運転者s.

And the 刑罰，罰則s for stopping 不法に in a box junction can be expensive.?

On TfL red 大勝するs, the 刑罰，罰則 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 notice is £160, 減ずるd to £80 if paid within 14 days.?

In London Boroughs the 刑罰，罰則 is £130, 減ずるd to £65 if paid within 14 days.?

Cardiff and other English 当局 penalise 運転者s £70, 減ずるd to £35 if paid within 21 days.?

Bromley 会議 in South London made £2.59m in 2022 alone from box 罰金s.

There have been occasions where drivers have 首尾よく challenged 罰金s from 会議s where boxes are too big, but this hasn't led to a 継続している change in the way the 法律 is 適用するd.

The RAC and Sam Wright are calling on the 政府 to 緊急に refresh its advice to 会議s on yellow boxes and make it 水晶 （疑いを）晴らす when and how they should be used.

Wright 追加するd: 'The 政府 has 明言する／公表するd that ‘貧しく designed 計画／陰謀s can 土台を崩す 施行 全体にわたる and give rise to public perception of 歳入 raising.’

'But it needs to go その上の and be 水晶 （疑いを）晴らす with 地元の 当局 about what is 許容できる and what isn’t when it comes to the design of yellow box junctions.?

'The 現在の 公式の／役人 design 指導／手引 is woefully 不十分な and needs to be updated.'
