"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 (or only two lines crossing each other in the box), and vehicles may not enter the area so marked unless their exit from the junction is clear (or, if turning, to await a gap in the oncoming traffic flow)."
People who can't understand this simple concept should be lined up and shot at dawn.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Hmm, unless of course, the box junction is now blocked by cars full of dead people. This might need some more thoughtComment

It's a classic game theory dilemma though, because someone too law abiding to venture onto the box junction until the road beyond is sufficiently clear will be blocked almost indefinitely by the crossing and turning traffic, and if mudskipper was behind this paragon of driving rectitude she'd become even more steamed up!Work in the public sector?
