There's a nice illustrated copy of the box junctions section of the
Highway Code at http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/16.htm#150


Which shows a car waiting in the box, because the exit road to his right
is clear. But what happens when an oncoming car turns left and it's no
longer clear?


IANAL but in the spirit of uninformed speculation on Usenet, I'd say he
was still in the right. He didn't enter the box when his exit wasn't
clear.

Of course whether a box junction camera would be equipped for this
situation is another matter. I suppose it could be done with an induction
loop in the exit lanes.
