Revealed: The UK's 'most lucrative' double-box junction that costs drivers £1,800 a day even for split-second moments - and has raked in £450,000 for council chiefs in just eight months
Made up of two yellow boxes, the junction on Kingston Road causes 27 penalties to be issued on average per day. Drivers must not enter a yellow box until they can drive through it without having to stop, states the Highway Code. It’s easy to recognise – in the UK, it’s a yellow box filled with criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road. The fine for stopping in a yellow box junction is £160 in all London boroughs, but reduced to £80 if paid in the first 14 days. The RAC analysis found Manchester City Council issued the most box junction-related PCNs, with 13,130 for six box junctions across its network.
