A road sign is a yellow box filled with a yellow grid of diagonal lines drawn on the road. These road signs are called box junctions.
The purpose of traffic control is to prevent deadlock. Traffic is controlled by lights, but not always. It is an offense to enter a yellow box unless the way out is clear. Box must not be entered until the exit road or lane is clear. If there is a queue inside the box, even if the traffic light is green, do not enter until there is time to clear the junction before the traffic light changes.
Boxes with a yellow stripe are pulled where there is heavy traffic, near fire or ambulance stations, where emergency vehicles are operating. The purpose of the box is to keep the junction clear for traffic, preventing traffic jams. The vehicle must cross the junction without stopping at the box. If there is not so much time, then the vehicle has to be stopped at the signal.
Do not chase the vehicle in front, follow the signal. Don’t let other drivers force you into the box either. This would be a heavy fine.
