Pcn notice for roundabout

TheEffects

Hi
I wanted to ask can you recieve a fine for stopping on a roundabout when the ext infront of you is blocked?

If you're causing an obstruction then theoretically yes. Why do you ask?

Sounds like a camera controlled cross hatched area query????


If it is, the answer is of course you can, thats what the cross hatching is for. If I have this wrong i apologuise

of course you can. and quite rightly should be.

if you look further than the end of your nose you would have seen the exit was not clear off the roundabout meaning you had to block another entrance onto the roundabout.

Can you link to an aerial image of the roundabout on Google Maps please?

Not all box junctions are correctly designed.

I wish they would ticket more for ignoring cross hatching, nothing worse than stopping at a green light when roads are busy because a bunch of selfish gits pull onto hatching before their exit is clear.

More details please.

Cross hatchings should have spikes that pop out when they detect a vehicle that has stopped...

OP - If you mean just stopping when there's no hatched markings on the road then IIRC you can't be fined however it's bloody ignorant - especially when there's no cars behind you (or like, 1)

Happens all the time coming out of the train station I commute from :mad:. A bus driver let me out the other day :T:eek:

For clarity it would be useful to employ more precise terms. Is the OP referring to what may amount to a YBJ - yellow box junction or are they describing a cross hatched area as may also be used on roundabouts to indicate a narrowing of lanes.

To comply with the law YBJ's must meet the kerb at all four corners and many that have been placed at roundabouts do not do so.

IIRC Yellow box junctions can also only be used on signal controlled roundabouts and are not to be used at ordinary give way roundabouts without special authorisation.
