In what way does a box junction have the same status as a Stop

sign?
You
don't have to stop *before* crossing them, and stopping *on*

them is
allowed
if you are waiting to turn right across oncoming traffic.


Is it? IWUTI that your exit had to be clear *before* venturing

into
the box


http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/16.shtml

=====
Highway Code rule 150:

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.


Cooo... you live and learn :-)
