WHAT DOES BOX JUNCTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

box junction

Box junction

A box junction is a road traffic control measure designed to prevent congestion and gridlock at junctions. The surface of the junction is typically marked with a criss-cross grid of diagonal painted lines, and vehicles may not enter the area so marked unless their exit from the junction is clear. Box junctions were introduced in UK during 1967, following a successful trial in London. In both Ireland and the United Kingdom, drivers may enter the box and wait when they want to turn right and are stopped from doing so only by oncoming traffic or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. Similar yellow boxes may be painted on other areas of roadway which must be kept free of queuing traffic, such as exits from emergency vehicle depots or level crossings. Box junctions are most widely used in many European countries such as Cyprus, Ireland, Malta, Portugal, Serbia and the United Kingdom; in parts of the United States such as New York and Colorado; and other countries, including Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, Taiwan, and Brazil.
