This may be a surprise to some people, as some don't seem to see they exist! Stupid people parking in box junctions is a pet hate :) |

They are 'box junctions', they are in areas where you must not wait, park , block....keep clear at all times. When they are positioned in a junction (usually with traffic lights) you can only enter the box when waiting to turn right - if the road you are turning into is not blocked and you are only waiting for a gap in the traffic coming accross the junction from the opposite side. Hope that makes sense. |

You may only enter a Box Junction if your exit from it is clear. |

Just in case you don't know what people talking about because you saw the stuff while out and about on the highways, and don't know how to search the rules.
You must not drive onto the markings until you have space to also exit them,. Their purpose is to avoid gridlock in busy intersections.
Imagine you come to an intersection where you want to turn left. You stop and your turn signal is blinking, but the people coming the other way are bumper to bumper behind someone in that lane who wants to turn left at an intersection behind you, but can't because the traffic is bumper to bumper waiting behind you.
This kind of thing can be avoided if there are these markings on the road and people obey them.
