This location on the A1 just north of Apex Corner has had cctv installed to monitor the yellow box.
Mr Mustard knows that the car in the top right of the box received a PCN as probably did the car in front and possibly the cars in lanes 3 & 4 as their rear wheels were in the box. You are fine exiting Marsh Lane, it is the drivers coming south who should all stop at the top edge of the box and then only move forward once they can cross the entire box and make an escape but that would make traffic flow worse so we all have to gamble and pay the price if it goes wrong.
If Mr Mustard realised he had erred and was going to be caught if he stopped he would have turned left into Marsh Lane, not done a U-turn until it was allowed (as there is a ban just as you enter Marsh Lane) and then rejoined the A1 south.
Be careful out there.
Is there not a case that the yellow box 'over reaches' the junction ie is too long?
ReplyDeleteOnly one way to find out is to take a case to the tribunal but I wouldn't. They don't have to be inch perfect and this one could also cover the entrance from Marsh Lane which would make driving very hard.
