Don’t stop in a yellow box

I’ve tried to explain why you shouldn’t stop in a yellow box (unless turning right and your exit road is clear) countless times.
BRITAIN’S most lucrative box junction has raked in more than £5million in fines in the past three years.
Angry drivers charged £130 for being caught in the no-stop zone branded it a council “moneybox”.
A Sun investigation found the junction in Fulham, West London, earns the council £200 an hour on average.
Until recently only police could enforce rules on the boxes outside the capital. But drivers fear plans to give control to other councils will see them made cash cows.
The RAC Foundation’s Steve Gooding said: “The council shouldn’t see these huge till receipts as a sign of success but a symptom of failure. It’s inconceivable that tens of thousands of drivers are setting out to get a ticket so either there’s a problem with the road layout or signage.
