Some councils have been granted new powers to enforce the rules, which could see motorists receive fines
Drivers could soon be fined for breaking a rule that many find confusing. Motorists are being warned to ensure they understand what a yellow box on the road means, and what the rules surrounding them are.
While some drivers understand the purpose of yellow boxes, others may be confused or ignore them completely.New powers have been given to local authorities to enforce rules around yellow box violations and other traffic offences like banned turns and one-way streets. Some Midland councils, including Sandwell and Walsall, have applied for and received these powers.
These fines could bring in a lot of money for councils, although there will also be costs associated with enforcement. These boxes make sure there's a gap when cars are queuing so other vehicles aren't blocked. This helps traffic flow smoothly and stops gridlock.
