Yellow boxes - the law

Crispness

Hi
Other than the Highway Code, can anyone recommend a page/site with some detail about the legalities of crossing yellow boxes. More precisely, crossing single lane yellow boxes and turning right?

Depends where you were caught (I'm assuming that's why you've posted)
Local authorities often enforce these now, so just a fine and no points.

TFL's info is here: Yellow box junctions

Crispness

no I wasnt caught. TFL dont mention single lane boxes, which is my particular point of interest.

Put simply, unless you are turning right within the box, you cannot stop in it. I think that's the way the rule has been written.

And only if turning right and that exit road on the right is clear.

Highway code rule 174 covers it all.

You must not enter a box junction unless your exit is clear, except when turning right and you are only prevented from exiting the box by oncoming vehicles or another vehicle also turning right and prevented from doing so by oncoming vehicles. Applies to ALL yellow boxes.

You'd like to think so, but it doesn't even mention single carriageway yellow boxes.

So here's the scenario:
Main A-Road in approach to pedestrian crossingB-Road crosses the main road, about 30m from pedestrian crossingYellow box on southbound carriageway of A-Road, extends across width of both carriageways of B-roadTraffic from B-road crossing A-roadW->E carrying on eastward along B-roadE->W turning right northwards along A-roadWho has priority?Can E->W traffic cross box diagonally?Or should they cross box (on southbound carriageway only) E->W and then turn right northwards along unboxed carriageway

Maybe a quick diagram might help, as I can't quite visualise what that means.
But to be honest, I would have thought the same rules apply regardless of the size of the yellow box.

Don't pull into box if exit is blocked
You can be in box if turning but are held up by oncoming traffic

Which route can the blue vehicle take?
And why?
