[align=center:37uxgbux]The following comes from TSRGD 2002 Schedule 19[/align:37uxgbux]PART II SIGNIFICANCE OF BOX JUNCTION MARKINGSInterpretation of Part II of Schedule.Contains my emphasis6. In this Part of this Schedule—(a)“box junction” means the area of carriageway marked with yellow cross-hatching at a junction between two or more roads on which there has been placed the road marking shown in diagram 1043 or 1044; and(b)a reference (however expressed) to a vehicle which is stationary or stops within a box junction includes a vehicle which is stationary whilst part of it is within the box junction.Prohibition conveyed by markings in diagram 1043 or 10447.—(1) Except when placed in the circumstances described in paragraph 8, the road markings shown in diagrams 1043 and 1044 shall each convey the prohibition that no person shall cause a vehicle to ENTER the box junction so that the vehicle has to stop within the box junction due to the presence of STATIONARY VEHICLES.(2) The prohibition in sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to any person—(a)who causes a vehicle to enter the box junction (other than a box junction at a roundabout) for the purpose of turning right; and(b)stops it within the box junction for so long as it is prevented from completing the right turn by oncoming vehicles or other vehicles which are stationary whilst waiting to complete a right turn.Prohibition conveyed when markings are placed in conjunction with signs in diagrams 615 and 8118. When the road marking shown in diagram 1043 or 1044 is placed in conjunction with the signs shown in diagrams 615 and 811 on an area of carriageway which is less than 4.5 metres wide at its narrowest point, the road marking shall convey the prohibition that no person shall cause a vehicle to enter the box junction so that the vehicle has to stop within the box junction due to the presence of oncoming vehicles or other stationary vehicles beyond the box junction.My interpretation of this is: That it is not a contravention to stop in a box junction if you have entered it whilst the vehicle in front is moving. It follows that it is also not a requirement to not enter the box until your exit is clear.

Nilgun Canver, cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said: “Most councils use these cars to help make sure local roads are kept as clear as possible so that traffic can move quickly in the borough. “Illegally parked cars can also impede other drivers and pedestrians. "We have two cars along with officers who patrol the borough on foot. “Those cars also help to enforce offences such as illegal turns and driving the wrong way down one-way streets, which can only be enforced by CCTV camera.”
When will councils learn what they are supposed to be doing?
