Box junctions

[BDunnell]

Does anyone obey box junctions any more? I ask because my bus journey to the station this morning was disrupted by countless vehicles, including other buses, ignoring them and snarling the traffic up as a result. I wasn't impressed.

I've been catching the train into work for the last week or so and on my drive to the train station there is a box junction at a fork in the road where there are traffic lights so both roads can filter into one lane. I always obey them, but it really frustrates me in rush hour when the cars coming from the other direction filtering in the road I want to go to dont obey the box junction. They end up blocking it so even when light go green for me I cant go anywhere because theres no where to go.

If people just obeyed them, their journey would go a whole lot faster. Maybe I shouldn't complain, I'm sure the people in my lane do the same thing to those in the other lane. I suppose it all ends up being a vicious circle in the end.

Personally I never go in them and block them. Your car is pretty much a sitting target to be hit by anything and everything. I like my car the way it is, I dont really want to put it in a postition where someone can easily hit it. Plus its always going to be your fault for being stuck there anyway.

I never let buses in.

Then you shouldn't be on the road, as you obviously don't know the highway code.

If everyone was a little more courteous, then the roads would be a nicer place, in my opinion.

Why?

cos they hold me up.

[BDunnell]

cos they hold me up.

While you hold up the journeys of rather more than one person.

Easy way to solve this problem, put cameras on the Box junction. Really annoys me that people don't obey the rules. Another thing which annoys me is if I don't go in you get some idiot behind me honking his/her horn trying to grt me to go in. PRATS!!! Read the Highway Code.
