PART II
SIGNIFICANCE OF BOX JUNCTION MARKINGS
Interpretation of Part II of Schedule 6. In this Part of this Schedule -
(a) "box junction" means the area of carriageway marked with yellow cross-
hatching at a junction between two or more roads on which there has been
placed the road marking shown in diagram 1043 or 1044; and
(b) a reference (however expressed) to a vehicle which is stationary or stops
within a box junction includes a vehicle which is stationary whilst part of it is
within the box junction.
Prohibition conveyed by markings in diagram 1043 or 1044 7. - (1) Except when placed in the circumstances described in paragraph 8, the
road markings shown in diagrams 1043 and 1044 shall each convey the prohibition
that no person shall cause a vehicle to enter the box junction so that the vehicle has to
stop within the box junction due to the presence of stationary vehicles.
(2) The prohibition in sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to any person -
(a) who causes a vehicle to enter the box junction (other than a box junction at
a roundabout) for the purpose of turning right; and
(b) stops it within the box junction for so long as it is prevented from
completing the right turn by oncoming vehicles or other vehicles which are
stationary whilst waiting to complete a right turn.
Prohibition conveyed when markings are placed in conjunction with signs in
diagrams 615 and 811 8. When the road marking shown in diagram 1043 or 1044 is placed in conjunction
with the signs shown in diagrams 615 and 811 on an area of carriageway which is less
than 4.5 metres wide at its narrowest point, the road marking shall convey the
prohibition that no person shall cause a vehicle to enter the box junction so that the
vehicle has to stop within the box junction due to the presence of oncoming vehicles
or other stationary vehicles beyond the box junction.
