Thanks I can see why large numbers of people complain about this one YBJ. I couldn't believe when I googled it... I have a browser window open atm with over 30 tabs to different forums and websites all talking about this one intersection. Seems that the council are using it as a possibly unfair way to raise revenue, rather than for any safety or traffic flow feature - made all the more 'entrapping' by the fact that there are right turns just before (latimer) and just after (streatfield) the junction box.

My question is this: 1. I entered the same yellow box. 2. Exit was blocked by a line of 4 or 5 cars waiting to turn right at Streatfield Ave. 3. I too was turning right at Streatfield Ave. 4. I had my right indicator on (which you cannot tell from the images, but was true nonetheless). I have received a PCN. My understanding was that you COULD stop in a YBJ IF you were turning right and were blocked by cars in the opposite lanes OR cars ALSO waiting to turn right (like you). Is this true for the Barking Road - Wellington Road junction? (given that the right turn onto Streatfield Ave is about 4 car lengths outside the yellow box). Does the right turn have to be one that you make within the tiny yellow box Newham council have painted there?
