"The enforcement area was found to be both disproportionately large and fundamentally flawed, leading to the cancellation of fines by Croydon Council after a recent ruling."
"The original yellow box extended across a private driveway, forcing vehicles to wait for unreasonable gaps to avoid penalties, particularly affecting buses exiting East Croydon Station."
"The Yellow Box Guru, Sam Wright, criticized the junction as a pointless obstacle and called for the council to rethink its design to prevent unfair penalties."
"Following a successful Freedom of Information request, it was revealed that the council had issued 26,244 fines, accumulating a total revenue of roughly 1.9 million."
Croydon Council has updated the Addiscombe Road junction following criticism and a ruling that found the enforcement area to be flawed. The junction had generated approximately 1.9 million in fines over a decade, with 26,244 fines issued since enforcement began in 2017. The original yellow box extended across a private driveway, causing unnecessary penalties for drivers. The Yellow Box Guru, a traffic campaigner, advocated for the changes, leading to the replacement of the yellow box with a keep clear marking that does not incur fines.
