Right turn, TL controlled box junctions on a DC
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2014 9:19 am
Coming from a semi-rural area, I didn't get a chance to do this sort of junction when I was learning to drive, so I have no confidence at all that I'm doing it right.
St James' Boulevard (<--link to google maps) in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne is a dual carriageway with a series of traffic light controlled box junctions. There are filter lanes.
How would I turn right on this road, when coming from the south?
Can I wait in the box when the road to the right is clear?
If so, where exactly?
If the road to the right is not clear, where do I wait then?
How do I avoid being hit by traffic coming from my left when the lights change?
When can I go?
It all seems so dangerous when there are two carriageways instead of one!
