Box junctions require you to do what?

Box junctions require you to do what?

• A. Enter the box junction as soon as possible.
• B. Only enter if your exit is clear.
• C. Enter and stop in the middle of the box.
• D. You must always yield to pedestrians.

Answer: (B)

Box junctions are there to stop you blocking the main junction when turning, so you must only enter if you can leave the box immediately and complete your turn. This means you should not go into the box unless your exit is clear of oncoming traffic and you won’t have to stop inside it. Entering early or stopping in the middle blocks other traffic, which is why that option is not correct. While yielding to pedestrians is important in general, the defining rule for box junctions is to ensure your exit is clear before entering. If you can’t guarantee you’ll exit, wait outside the box until a clear gap appears.
