Yellow Box Junctions
Yellow boxes are a surprisingly complicated topic, involving the dynamics of the movement, the physical design of the box and enforcement and appeals legislation. With enforcement commencing outside London, it's vital that the lessons from many years of enforcement in London are learnt and that drivers are not unfairly ticketed with associated negative press coverage. Each box needs to be designed correctly to ensure it is legal, approriate and that every inch of it serves a specific purpose.

UPCOMING TRAINING
Meet the trainer
Sam Wright was formally responsible for the design and approval of yellow boxes on the Transport for London network. He has assessed, monitored and designed hundreds of boxes at all manner of junctions. He also has knowledge of over 100 key cases from adjudicators and is the UK's leading expert on the topic. He has written for the RAC, CIHT and appeared in national and international media to discuss the topic. In a recent study for the RAC he found that 90% of boxes proposed for enforcement had issues, revealing the scale of the lack of knowledge on the issue. Read the full report here.
