Driving Lessons Gloucester- Box Junctions.

Box Junctions.
Box Junctions cause a lot of confusion, and not just to learner drivers. In my daily travels I see them misunderstood and misused pretty regularly. They would not cause so many problems if they were used correctly.
Do not enter a box junction, unless you can exit it without stopping, unless you are turning right, and the only things stopping your progress are approaching vehicles and others turning right. The crossroads at Cheltenham college is particularly frustrating, as drivers when turning right do not go into the box junction and wait. (It's pretty large.) Here's what the Highway Code says:
Rule 174

Box junctions. These have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road.

You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right.

At signalled roundabouts you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping.
