Stay out of the yellow box
In the last twelve months, drivers of South Wales have seen average speed cameras being installed, and cameras expertly pointed at bus lanes in Cardiff city centre. But as of yesterday drivers have another thing to look out for; stopping in a yellow box.
If you are caught stopping in a yellow box (which is a driving offense anyway) in Cardiff, you will be fined £75. If you pay within 21 days it will be reduced to £35 and if you do not, then it will increase to £105. The new cameras have been installed at yellow box junctions in Customhouse Street, Bute Terrace, and Bute Street Junction.
In the last seven days, those who have been caught have been warned that if they do it again, they will be receiving a fine in the post. It is the first time a city outside of London has enforced the yellow box rule, as part of its Moving Traffic Offences Scheme.
On another safety note, a new £40,000 camera car is watching for drivers who park outside of schools on zig zag lines. Parents have sometimes been caught obstructing the road outside the school whilst they pick the children up, which is a big safety risk as sometimes children will cross from behind the car without looking, leading to accidents up and down the country.
