You are approaching a yellow box junction and can see a pedestrian crossing just beyond it. Traffic is queuing on the far side of the junction and you are not sure your car will fully clear the box. What should you do?

Explanation

The Highway Code Rule 174 says you MUST NOT enter a box junction unless your exit road or lane is clear, except when turning right and only held by oncoming traffic or other right-turning vehicles. If traffic is queuing and you might block the box (and the area where pedestrians cross), you must wait before the box until there is room for your vehicle to clear it completely. This helps protect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians.
