Default Box Junction Penalty

They have the same status as a STOP sign and there does not need to be any
other for them to take effect.

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.

In the sense that it is a road sign. Parking restrictions and bus lanes
require statutory notices to be published to allow them to be enforced.

Rather more specifically, parking controls and bus lanes require a
Traffic Management Order (under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984,
as amended) to be made.

Box junctions do not.


I'm sure our tame barrister on uk.transport.london can fill this bit
in.

Many road-signs (as well as markings) DO require statutory notices
(Traffic Orders) to make them enforceable, for example a 'no right
turn' sign does. So does a 'no entry' sign. But a yellow box
doesn't.

STOP signs have to be authorised by the Department for Transport.


Box junctions do not.
