Title: Waltham Forest – Code 31J Entering and stopping in a box junction when prohibite
Post by: Purple26 on June 02, 2026, 02:05:41 pm

Hi all,
I would be grateful for any advice regarding this .

Having reviewed the CCTV, the vehicle appears to have come to a stop within the yellow box for less than 2 seconds before traffic moved again. I appreciate that stopping in a box junction can constitute a contravention, but I was wondering whether such a brief stop might provide any grounds for challenge or whether there are any other arguments worth considering.

The driver was my father. Since receiving this PCN he has been assessed by the mental health team due to concerns regarding possible dementia/cognitive decline, and he has now stopped driving altogether. I appreciate this may not affect whether the contravention occurred, but I mention it in case it is relevant to any request for discretion.

Any thoughts, suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
