Petition Change law around box junctions to give drivers more leniency
A report suggested that many yellow boxes are bigger than they need to be, on average by 50%. We believe the current rules may be abused by some authorities to raise revenue with no evidence of any benefits to traffic flow. Change law to give drivers more leniency with the suggestions below:
More details
1) A 10sec grace period for PCNs
2) An exemption for turning vehicles that are not causing an obstruction
3) An amendment to the TSRGD to require yellow boxes to be no bigger than necessary & to only allow them at signalised junctions
4) Require all existing and new yellow boxes to have traffic orders so they are subject to consultation
5) Amend the highway code so the wording replicates the law ie the TSRGD.
