Yellow box junction — markings non-compliant with TSRGD 2016
Yellow box markings must comply with TSRGD 2016 Schedule 9. Defects: faded paint, hatch lines too thin/wide, box too small, missing perimeter, incorrect placement. The 2022 expansion outside London produced many newly-painted boxes with technical errors.
Legal basis
TSRGD 2016 (SI 2016/362), Schedule 9 Part 3; Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 s.85; Herron v Sunderland City Council [2011] EWHC 2188 (Admin)
How to identify this in your case
Visit location. Photograph markings overhead and from driver's eye-line. Compare hatch line width, perimeter completeness, box dimensions to TSRGD diagrams.
Sample appeal wording
Dear Sir/Madam, Re: PCN [NUMBER] — Yellow Box — [LOCATION] — [DATE] I challenge this PCN. The markings do not comply with TSRGD 2016. TSRGD 2016 (SI 2016/362) Schedule 9 Part 3 prescribes dimensions and configuration for yellow hatch box junction markings. My photographs show: - [Defect: faded paint to less than [%] visibility] - [Defect: perimeter line incomplete on [side]] - [Defect: hatch lines [X]mm thick, prescribed minimum is [Y]] - [Defect: box dimensions do not match prescribed] Under s.85 RTRA 1984 and Herron v Sunderland City Council [2011] EWHC 2188 (Admin), restrictions communicated by non-compliant markings cannot found a PCN. Please cancel. Yours faithfully, [NAME]
