| The design of many box junctions can be problematic, particularly if the boxes are bigger than thry need to be or if other signals or road layouts affect them. A good example is the one on the Brentford side of Kew Bridge. Heading north the two lanes exiting the box merge into one and are compromised by a bus stop and a Pelican crossing. Thus one’s exit might be clear but then closes due to traffic merging or stopping suddenly. There are numerous examples like this in London. Similarly the ones on the Hogarth roundabout are problematic because they are so big it’s not always possible to see the exit clearly from some angles. https://www.yellowboxes.co.uk/box-design https://media.rac.co.uk/rac-uncovers-problems-with-nine-in-10-yellow-box-junctions-councils-want-to-enforce-3250134 |
