Yellow Box - Right Turn Exception

You ARE permitted to enter a yellow box junction and wait if turning right, provided your exit is clear except for oncoming traffic.

Legal basis

Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984; Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016, Regulation 29.

How to identify this in your case

If you were turning right and waiting for a gap in oncoming traffic, this is a permitted manoeuvre.

Sample appeal wording

I was waiting in the box junction to turn right, as is clearly shown in the camera footage. My intended exit (the right turn) was clear. I was waiting only for oncoming traffic to pass before completing my turn safely. This is a specifically permitted use of a box junction under TSRGD 2016 Regulation 29 and Highway Code Rule 174. The PCN should be cancelled as no contravention occurred.
